VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - While on a campaign stop in Vancouver, Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff brought out a laundry list of things he wants to accomplish if he becomes Canada's next prime minister.
The first thing: bring back the long-form census. "I don't know how to put this politely. One of the dumbest things I've seen a modern Canadian government do is scrap that long-form census. There isn't a Canadian who understands why they did that. It was pure ideology," Ignatieff told the crowd at Langara College in Vancouver.
Other promises he is making: a better national childcare plan, a national poverty strategy, an affordable housing strategy and ways to bridge the immigration success gap.
Ignatieff is spending Tuesday evening at a rally in Richmond, where hundreds of people have turned out, bearing signs supporting MPs Joyce Murray and Ujjal Dosanjh.
