NDP and Liberals spar at “Not in the News” forum
Although it was the last topic to be added to the docket, the discussion of reconciliation brought out the best of both federal candidates at Wednesday night’s forum.
The “Not in the News” candidate forum hosted by the Council of Canadians saw NDP candidate Lon Borgerson and Liberal candidate Gordon Kirkby duel it out on topics deemed not to be “necessarily making news headlines.”
The topic of reconciliation closed out the night with both candidates sharing their respective party plans.
Both candidates pledged their party’s would work on the 94 call-to-actions. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has asked for including issues on child welfare, education, health and commemoration.
