About 100 people showed up at the Kenora Airport to meet with the federal leader of the NDP, Jagmeet Singh.
During his address, Singh talked about improving the lives of indigenous people.
“I believe very deeply in justice,” says Singh.
“It’s something my mom taught me, the fact we’re all connected, we’re all one, and that when we see people around us suffering, we’re also suffering. We cannot build a just country unless the first people of this country get justice. I believe that in my heart and I’m committed to that.”
He also promised to help out businesses hurt by the pandemic, including tourist operators.
“We know that not just the tourism, but also the service sector…restaurants…are not at full capacity. People aren’t able to go back to the way things were. So we have to continue to look at ways to provide additional supports.”
Singh was accompanied by Kenora NDP candidate Janine Seymour, Kiiwetinoong MPP Sol Mamakwa, and the Manitoba NDP leader Wab Kinew.
