Agriculture and Climate Change Focuses for Liberal Candidate

Six candidates are vying to be the next Member of Parliament for the Cypress Hills-Grasslands riding.
 
One of those six is William Caton, who is running for the Liberal Party of Canada.
 
Caton said that agriculture and the climate have been the biggest two topics he has focused on.
 
"The climate crisis is real, and it's more desperate than people in this area want to admit. We had to make a move to get our greenhouse gasses down, but it is also important to have a strong agricultural industry and oil industry to build the prosperity so we can deal with that," he said. "Aggressive diplomacy to get out products able to be exported again. It's crunch time, the weather and our ability to export being stopped for two years; we have to have a federal government that will put in place some safety nets."
 
He said that it's important that we elect a green Prime Minister, something he believes the Liberals offer.
 
"I think the climate crisis is so immediate we can't have four years of an Andrew Scheer government; he will do nothing," Caton said. "Harper fired almost all of the Canadian environmental scientists, and the Liberals are hiring them back and opening the files and dusting them off. If we go back to Andrew Scheer, nothing will be done on the climate crisis for the next four years."
 
Caton added that he believes his 60 years of agriculture experience make him the right choice for the residents in the Cypress Hills-Grasslands constituency.
