NDP MISSING IN ACTION IN DURHAM
FOR IMMIDATE RELEASE
Bowmanville – Since October 2007 Bryan Ransom has been nominated as the Liberal Candidate for Durham. Following his nomination as the Liberal Candidate in Durham Mr. Ransom has taken a solid approach on advocating for real representation on manufacturing, the environment and agriculture.
The New Democratic Party has spent a great deal of time in Durham suggesting to voters that they are the only party with real alternatives to the Conservative Party of Canada. Yet almost a week into an election they have failed to nominate a Candidate. The hypocrisy of the NDP continues to grow as they say they will stand up for residents of Durham who have lost their jobs at GM, but have yet nominated a candidate.
The Liberal Party of Canada has shown that it is the only alternative to the ideological-neo-conservative agenda of Bev Oda and Stephen Harper. Bryan Ransom continually advocates for those affected by recent layoffs in the manufacturing industry and on local environmental issues.
Mr. Ransom noted, “Manufacturing employs thousands of people within the riding of Durham. For a party like the NDP to claim that Liberals do not stand up for these hard working people is misleading, at the very least. For example, we have been, and continue to be, the only party from Durham riding supporting the workers during the uncertainty at General Motors.”
Earlier this year Mr. Ransom questioned the Government’s willingness to make manufacturing a priority in an open editorial published in the Clarington This Week. In addition Mr. Ransom spent a considerable amount of time talking with those in the GM truck plant during the blockade at the Oshawa Headquarters to fully understand the concerns and views of the workers. Mr. Ransom’s advocacy played a role in having Liberal Leader, Stephane Dion, visit workers during the GM blockade.
