As another tough pandemic year has wrapped, Yukon's three main party leaders, Premier Sandy Silver who heads the Liberals, the NDP's Kate White, and the Yukon Party's Currie Dixon each spoke with CBC News about the year that was and the year coming up.
Last Thursday evening’s leaders’ forum on First Nations issues was a relatively sedate affair among the Liberals, the NDP and the Yukon Party.
The debate was more than enough to illustrate the differences among the parties, but one of the more intriguing exchanges came from a discussion of COVID-19 issues.
While Liberal Leader Sandy Silver stuck to his tried-and-true script on virus issues and “following the advice of the chief medical officer,” Kate White of the NDP raised some eyebrows with her comments.
White told the forum she and her party had been mostly quiet on pandemic-related issues for the last year – and that was part of a plan.
