Heather Stefanson, a favourite in the race to lead the governing Progressive Conservatives in Manitoba, won’t point fingers at Premier Brian Pallister’s sometimes adversarial leadership, but said she’ll handle the job differently.

“No approach is right or wrong, I just have a different approach,” she said in an interview Friday with CBC Manitoba’s Information Radio host Marcy Markusa.

“What I’m hearing is that Manitobans want that kind of collaborative and conciliatory approach, and someone that’s going to listen, and I think that that’s what I bring forward.”
