With the provincial election underway, New Democrat candidate Tom Lindsay is urging voters to consider the NDP's consistency on issues such as taxes and services. Lindsey says " Nobody likes to pay more taxes, but everybody likes the benefit of more taxes. If the (Progressive) Conservatives get in, you bet they are going to cut taxes .But with those cuts in taxes come cuts in services"

Lindsey is also advocating a Northern Food Security program that stresses locally produced food.
