First All Candidates Forum in Dryden

It got a little testy at times during last night's All-Candidates forum for the Federal Candidates in the Kenora Riding.

It was a packed house at the Dryden Legion.

Liberal Roger Valley closed the night by asking NDP and undecided voters to vote red.

Conservate Greg Rickford steered away from the remark and instead wanted to
focus on his party's track record over the past three years. 

Tania Cameron of the NDP took exception to the Valley comment and suggest that Valley was
actually supportive of her party's policies. 

Independent candidate Kelvin Chicago-Boucher decided to stay out of the name-calling and instead
called for more accountability on First Nation Communities.

Green candidate Mike Schwindt was unable to attend the debate.

The next all-candidates forum will take place in Kenora on Monday, April 25th.
