Justin Trudeau draws big crowd in Iqaluit
About 200 people greeted Justin Trudeau in Iqaluit last night at a community feast, many hoping for a handshake or chance to pose with the Liberal leader.
Trudeau gave a brief speech in the packed school gymnasium, saying his trip was all about bringing attention to Northern people.
"This extraordinary part of the world deserves a government that actually listens, that engages, that respects, that builds partnership. A government where you have an MP that is a voice for Nunavut in Ottawa, and not just Ottawa’s voice in Nunavut.”
The local Liberal party association hosted the event but Trudeau was about an hour late, due to travel delays. But that didn't temper the enthusiasm in the crowd.
