13 Rick Laliberte won the Churchill River nomination for the New Democratic Party on Monday, April 30, just two days after the election call was made official. It was a long nomination process because of the size of the riding, which covers about half of the province of Saskatchewan. After all the votes were tallied, Laliberte got the nod. Rick Laliberte, NDP candidate Laliberte, who was born and raised in Beauval, sought the nomination only after considering the platforms and philosophies of all the parties. He found that the NDP's philosophy neatly meshed with his.
People are a priority.
He also discovered that the NDP's philosophy of government reflected the traditional practices of Aboriginal people. When you choose the destiny of your people it's done with consensus and understanding. It doesn't matter if you're living on a southern farm or a northern trapline, your children are the most important part of your life.
