After two weeks of Newfoundland and Labrador s major political players dropping breadcrumbs toward their vision for the province, party leaders are going head-to-head on hot topics Wednesday evening in a provincially televised leaders debate.
Although no party has released a full platform to date instead choosing to take a one-topic-per-day approach to revealing their campaign promises NDP Leader Alison Coffin, PC Leader Ches Crosbie and Liberal Leader Andrew Furey have addressed issues ranging from fertilization treatments to the fishery.
