A former broadcaster is looking to unseat incumbent Cariboo-Prince George Conservative MP Todd Doherty.
Audrey McKinnon was selected by the NDP to run in the riding during the next federal election.
Her platform centers around climate change and addressing the overdose crisis.
Northern Health currently has the highest death rate out of all the health authorities in BC at 56.7 per 100,000 residents – McKinnon told MyPGNow.com that trend needs to change.
“We are not doing enough. I know that there are a lot of actionable things we could be doing as a government and that is not happening. We need to work on decriminalization.”

May 3 marks the start of Canadian Mental Health Week, providing a much-needed opportunity to think about resources and innovation within the mental health system. Of note, the phrase âmental health systemâ typically conjures up images of large-scale hospitals or formal psychiatric clinics.
While such services are essential resources, a growing body of research indicates that small-scale, locally grounded, community-driven programs play a vital role in promoting mental health, especially among underserved and hard-to-reach populations. Such community programs include veteransâ peer support groups, youth drop-in centres, and an innovative intervention targeting lonely and isolated older men called Menâs Sheds.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie received their first doses of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine on Friday at an Ottawa pharmacy. Trudeau said he was “very excited” and offered an enthusiastic “yay” with two thumbs up once he was jabbed.
At a briefing Friday, Trudeau urged people to do the same. “If you’re eligible for your vaccine like we are, make sure you get your dose as soon as possible,” he said.
