Kincardine's Jan Johnstone to represent
Huron -Bruce NDP in June 12 election
Huron -Bruce's NDP candidate
is not lacking any confidence.
"We are going to win, I am
going to win," said Kincardine res-
ident Jan Johnstone while
addressing her fellow NDPers
after being announced as the
local candidate in the June 12
provincial election.
Johnstone defeated Willi Laurie
in a vote held at the Huron County
Museum in Goderich on Thurs.,
May 8.
She spoke very highly of Laurie,
calling her a "great candidate."
Johnstone said she sees herself
as the only "progressive" choice
for voters in Huron -Bruce.
To her, Liberal candidate Col-
leen Schenk, who ran for the fed-
eral Progressive Conservative
Party in 1997, is a "blue" disguised
as a "red':
"The Liberals adopt NDP val-
ues, then run on a conservative
agenda," Johnstone said.
Johnstone, who also ran in the
1997 federal election for the NDP,
said she feels she has developed
trust with the community through
her work as a trustee and former
chair with the Bluewater District
School Board.
"People have trust that I will act
on promises and I have listened
well," Johnstone said.
She said the NDP will help
small businesses through a tax
credit and also look at raising the
minimum wage.
Johnstone stressed the need to
put the "OPG back together" and

A burning issue with local resi-
dents will be wind energy - John-
stone said her party believes local
municipalities should be given the
choice whether they want wind
energy projects in their commu-
nity and also should decide factors
such as location and setbacks.
Speaking on the cancelled gas
plants that cost $1.1 billion, John-
stone said the Liberals have had
"scandal after scandal" and it's

of voters and "talk about the
issues."
