Vote 2015 – Winnipeg South Centre
Conservative Joyce Bateman, first elected in 2011, is in a tough fight to retain her seat in Winnipeg South Centre. She's been accused by some as lacking visibility in her riding and not working fast enough to bring federal infrastructure dollars to the community, despite the pre-writ announcement of $45 million as the federal contribution to an underpass. Jim Carr, a veteran provincial Liberal and well-known community leader in the arts world, has returned to politics and has been running a solid campaign that he believes is gaining ground even in the most Conservative parts of the riding. The NDP's Matt Henderson ran as an independent candidate in 2011 -- a classroom experiment for students at the private school where he teaches. This time, Henderson is running a serious campaign, and has made some ground for the party running on the NDP's promises to help some of society’s most vulnerable. Green candidate Andrew Park has been an active in all debate forums and believes he has a good chance of stealing the riding from the frontrunners. Join CPAC’s Kenneth Bell in Winnipeg South Centre.
