“I’m not afraid to say what needs to be said”
The veteran Nunavut politician, business owner and chair of the Nunavut Planning Commission, Hunter Tootoo, will now run for the Liberals in the upcoming federal election.
Tootoo, a former MLA in Iqaluit, announced his Liberal candidacy before about two dozen people gathered July 27 at the Francophone Centre in Iqaluit.
Speaking with Nunatsiaq News, Tootoo said he sought the Liberal Party candidacy for Nunavut because he’s unhappy about “some of the things that have been going on that I’ve witnessed and I know about with the current Conservative Party.”
