From David Cochrane, travelling this week with the Progressive Conservative campaign:
For the second time this week, the Tory campaign is headed to Labrador. Today we are doing whistle stops in just about every region of the Big Land. As I write this I'm on a Provincial Airlines Cessna Citation flying to Happy Valley Goose Bay. Here's the travel schedule:
7:30 a.m. Media arrive at airport
8:00 a.m. Departure
10:15 a.m. (Labrador Time) Arrive in Hopedale
- Visit Amos Comenius Memorial School
- Hopedale Inuit Community Government
- Nunatsiavut Health and Social Development
11:15 a.m. Depart Hopedale
11:45 a.m. Arrive in Nain
- Visit Jens Haven Memorial School
- Local Businesses
12:45 p.m. Depart Nain
2:15 p.m. Media arrive in Goose Bay - Innu Mikun hangar for filing
3:50 p.m. Media return to hanger for departure – transportation provided.
3:00 p.m. PC Leader arrives in Churchill Falls to visit Eric Lambert All-Grade School
5:30 p.m. (Newfoundland Time) Arrive in Forteau
Visit Labrador South Health Centre
6:00 p.m. Meet and Greet in L'Anse au Clair - Northern Light Inn
6:30 p.m. Depart for Blanc-Sablon Airport
7:30 p.m. Meet and Greet at St. Anthony Elementary, Elementary School Road
8:30 p.m. Depart for St. Anthony Airport
It will be quite the day. But I think the intense early focus on Labrador shows that this will be one of the key battlegrounds.
All three parties think they can steal seats here.
The New Democrats are eyeing Labrador West. The Liberals think they can take Lake Melville and the Tories think they can break into the Liberal stronghold of Torngat Mountains.
These should be some of the more interesting races in this election.
