Federal candidates quizzed in discussion event

Standing room only in Nelson Thursday night for the Kootenay-Columbia all candidates meeting.

4 of the 5 people running for the seat took questions from our own Glenn Hicks.

Incumbent Conservative David Wilks was asked if his party is past its shelf life.

The NDP’s Wayne Stetski agreed he has a lot in common with his Liberal and Green challengers.

Libertarian candidate Christina Yahn was a no show.
