Together, let us be strong, free and united citizens from coast to coast!”.The PPC’s Atlantic Canada Lieutenant is Michelle Lindsay..“As a candidate of record for the last two elections, I have seen our Nova Scotian team work with endless energy and passion, in the hopes of electing a People’s Party government that will respect our nation’s democracy, its values, constitution, its Charter—your fundamental rights and freedoms,” said Lindsay..“I will commit to spreading this message throughout our eastern coast.”.Melanie Risdon is a reporter with the Western Standard.,.mrisdon@westernstandard.news.This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media.
