It’s not very often you get to see a Federal campaign leader outside of city centres like Thunder Bay or Winnipeg. Last night, the leader of the Federal NDP showed in Sioux Lookout.
Speaking to reporters at 66 Front Street in Sioux Lookout, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he will commit to ‘ending the gap’ on boil water advisories.
He then went a step further, promising that he will solve this problem ‘once and for all’.
Singh also calls for ‘equal funding and opportunities’ in regards to Indigenous communities.
Other points of note included mention of a universal dental-care program. Singh promising that the new program will cover up to ‘4 millions Canadians in the first year’.

After being challenged on his promises, the federal party leader said “Powerful corporations… I don’t work for them. They don’t give me money. They don’t support me. I’m in it for these good folks in this room.”
The NDP leader spent his last few minutes to explain how he wants the rich to pay more.
