National organization to ask question of a ‘just Canada’ with fall election stop in city

Published in Winnipeg Free Press on September 16, 2019

What does a just Canada look like? That’s the question that will be asked Wednesday, when Citizens for Public Justice brings its fall election tour to Winnipeg.

“We want to ask what kind of country we want to be part of,” Karri Munn-Venn, senior policy analyst for the Ottawa-based organization, said of the goal of the free public tour.

For CPJ, three important issues in this election are the climate emergency, eliminating poverty in Canada, and refugee rights, she said.

During the event, which will be held 7 p.m.-9:30 p.m. at Marpeck Commons at Canadian Mennonite University (500 Shaftesbury Blvd.), participants will also be able to meet Willard Metzger, CPJ executive director.
