Federal candidates met constituents at the Newcastle Community Hall for a Q&A session with pre-submitted questions.

Philip Lawrence, the Conservative MP who has held the riding since 2019, dodged media questions after the event. As did John Goheen, who’s vying for Liberal candidacy.

Jody Ledgerwood, an independent candidate known for her COVID views, chose independence to avoid party restrictions.

“I am free to actually represent your voice in parliament. When you belong to a party, you are beholden to the whip, who is beholden to the leader, who is beholden to the lobby groups and the foreign NGOs,” she explains. 

“As an independent, I am beholden to the people of my community that actually voted me in; it’s them that I have to take care of, not the lobbyist behind the curtain.”

Christian Heritage Party candidate John Wesselius condemned the Liberal plan to revoke the tax exemption status of prolife and faith-based charities.

“We believe that the church is a valued part of the community that does good work and enhances the quality of life in the community,” he says, “but if we were shackled by what the Liberals want us to do we would gladly give away that charitable status for the freedom that it would offer.”

Please help me stop Mark Carney — before it’s too late!

Mark Carney and the political elites think they can walk into power unchallenged — but not if Rebel News has anything to say about it. While the legacy media cheers him on, we’re digging into his globalist agenda, exposing what others won’t. With your help, we’ll keep our reporters on the ground, our billboard truck on the move, and our message uncensored. This election is our chance to fight back — before it’s too late. Please help me take back the narrative and stop Mark Carney!
