Lelond voices NDP bid in rural Manitoba riding
Vince Lelond, NDP candidate in a swing rural Manitoba riding, attacks Tory healthcare spending and Halway medicine while promising to balance the budget, restore education funding, cut tuition, and push for local tourism and equal rural representation. He cites Filmon’s 165 million healthcare move and 340 million goal, pledges to unstack RHA boards, and urges tax relief for homeowners. He has worked 25 years in highways graphics and serves on local councils and regional committees.

Election Promises Spark Campaign Push in Manitoba
In the early campaign week Terrie Welwood notes NDP pledges a 516 million plan to end half of medicine and Doer backs an 8 million tuition cut. Tory leader Filmon unveils a 50/50 plan to cut taxes by 500 million and boost health care and education spending, with claims of 850 million revenue growth and 80 million in civil service savings. He also targets a 10 percent legislature cut to 51 seats by 2004, excluding health care education and debt repayment from cuts.
