Horwath Supports McMichael Campaign

Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath says Stephen Harper's Trans-Pacific Partnership deal is going to cost the country too many jobs, especially in Sarnia-Lambton

She made the comment at the idle former Ube plant on Hwy. 402, alongside local federal candidate Jason McMichael.

Horwath says communities like Sarnia can't afford that kind of job loss.

Horwath says during the last decade, the province has lost over 260,000 good paying jobs because of the Harper Conservatives.

She says Liberal leader Justin Tudeau has refused to take a stand against the deal, while NDP leader Tom Mulcair continues to be the only leader publicly opposing it.
