2018 was a hard year for the Nor-Man region.

 

That’s the message Niki Ashton conveyed when she spoke in the House of Commons last week.

 

Ashton between job losses in Thompson, the Churchill rail line situation and underfunding for First Nations that people have had enough.

 

She said that it’s not just northern Manitoba, but a problem across the country while the government sits on the sidelines.

 

Ashton went on to say that the government is fighting people like postal workers rather than fighting for good jobs and buying a pipeline instead of fighting climate change.

 

She added that the Prime Minister needs to stop giving benefits to “his rich corporate friends”, and that Canadians deserve better in 2019.
