Two women say their firings from a troubled Native housing authority in Manitoba are suspicious.

Sandra Moar and Sherry Cowan say they are victims of a retaliation campaign at the Aiyawin Housing Corporation. Moar said she was fired and told to leave an Aiyawin-owned apartment building because she lives with a man who raised allegations about nepotism and financial mismanagement. Cowan said she was terminated for talking to authorities about the problems.

An audit confirmed allegations of wrongdoing. Aiyawin could lose almost $2 million (Canadian) in government funds used to provide housing for low-income and elderly Natives.
