With just three weeks to go until election day, Canada's federal party leaders are back on the road today.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is expected to make an announcement in Toronto today following weekend campaign stops on the East Coast, where he announced plans to impose national rent control and to get every Canadian access to a family doctor in the next five years.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is wrapping up a campaign sweep on the West Coast today before flying to Edmonton for a rally.

A federal election is coming up in three weeks, April 28th, and the Liberal candidate for Provencher is getting ready.

"It's going to be busy because this is a short campaign and so there's a lot to do, but I'm looking forward to it. I think this is a very important election, so I wanted to be part of it," says Trevor Kirczenow.

There are several big issues that make this such a critical election, he says.

When a person buys a car, they do so with the understanding that the vehicle has a finite lifespan, and there will come a point when it is more expensive to maintain than it is to replace. So, rather than waiting and being surprised when that time comes, planning and estimating the average lifespan of that vehicle can—in theory, set that person up to be ready for it.  

That is the philosophy behind the city of Winkler’s three-year financial plan, according to Mayor Henry Siemens. 

They’re coming from all over. From Minnedosa to Dauphin to Steinbach and everywhere in between, customers in search of quality pre-owned vehicles and Old Hickory buildings and sheds are beating a trail to BG Sales.

Bigger venue, same heartfelt mission

Cereals Canada has released a series of sustainability reports for Canadian non-durum wheat, durum wheat, barley, and oats to demonstrate how the cereals value chain is meeting the challenge of sustainable cereal production.

“Canada is a global leader in the production of high-quality, nutritious, and sustainable cereal grains,” said Mark Walker, vice-president of markets and trade. “These reports confirm that Canadian farmers grow some of the most sustainable crops in the world.”

 The City of Morden is taking proactive measures to address climate-related challenges through the development of a Community Climate Adaptation Plan. Shawn Dias, Director of Parks and Urban Forestry, is leading the initiative, which was recently approved by the city council.

"We are starting the process of developing a Community Climate Adaptation Plan," says Dias. "We've also applied for funding through the Green Municipal Fund's Local Leaders in Climate Adaptation program to support this plan."
