Liberal Candidate Shannon Miedema and NDP candidate Lisa Roberts share their visions for representing the great great city of Halifax at the federal level, answering both prepared questions and random selections from our "Bucket of Democracy." Conservative candidate Mark Boudreau was invited but unable to participate despite multiple scheduling attempts.
We cover a variety of complex issues in a short time and candidates were challenged by quickly diverting their attention from one issue to the next. Both candidates stood up wonderfully and we'll leave it to the listener to decide who is the best candidate for them.
Topics discussed include: Affordable housing, Canada-US relations, Inter provincial trading, climate action, social connection, the toxic drug and overdose crisis & more.
Election day is April 28th, but voters can cast their ballots earlier at advance polls opening April 18th or at the Elections Canada office on Quinpool Road.
