Yellowknifers Rally in Support of Coalition Government

On Friday, December 5th at noon, the PSAC hosted a rally in front of Dennis Bevington's Yellowknife constituency office in support of Coalition government. Despite -30 temperatures, vocal supporters rallied with enthusiasm while speakers delivered passionate speeches asking for real change in Canada.

"Mr. Harper is doing everything he can to hold on to power, even to the extent of interrupting the process of democracy in Parliament so he can save his own hide", says Sonja Boucher from the Northern Territories Federation of Labour. "The Coalition has a prudent, competent, and effective plan to kick-start our economy, create jobs, and boost consumer confidence. The only party not willing to cooperate are the Conservatives, who have lost the confidence of Parliament".

Dennis Bevington, MP for the Western Arctic, also spoke out about the willingness of the Coalition to put differences aside and get down to the business of saving the economy. Concerned members from the Yellowknife community, France Benoit and Rajit Rawak, also gave passionate presentations about Harper's failure to deliver and his increasing isolation of Quebec citizens.
