This afternoon, PPC Leader Maxime Bernier attended a rally at Vermillion Park in Dauphin, hosted by local candidate  Donnan McKenna.

There were many topics covered throughout the event that ran for over an hour, but the overall theme was rights and freedoms.

Mr. Bernier was happy with the size of the crowd, which was over 200 people.

“I’m very pleased; we have more and more people. I’m doing four ridings a day in bigger towns and smaller towns and people are coming because they’re like me, they’re fed up and want to gain back their freedoms.”

Maxime says that his party wants to help every industry, including the agriculture industry.

“We have a plan that we want to have a flat tax rate for all businesses, but I must be honest we won’t be able to implement that in our first mandate, because it’s all about cutting, it’s all about balancing our budget, and after that, we’ll have a policy that will help every industry.”

This will be the second election contested by the Peoples Party of Canada, and today was Maxime’s first visit to the riding.
