Election 2015: NWT’s federal candidates have their final say

With just one full day remaining before the Northwest Territories goes to the polls, Moose FM spoke to all four federal election candidates.

Below, you can hear 10-minute interviews with New Democrat Dennis Bevington, Liberal Michael McLeod, Conservative Floyd Roland and Green candidate John Moore.

Each candidate makes a final pitch to Northern voters while dealing with issues that arose during their campaigns.

Bevington faces the NDP’s fading figures in the national polls; McLeod explains why some of his promises didn’t tally with the national Liberal platform; Roland is asked why he decided to skip a high-profile public forum for candidates; and Moore, admitting his party cannot win nationally, argues that a vote for him still counts.

John Moore, Green Party

Floyd Roland, Conservative Party

Michael McLeod, Liberal Party
