ELMSDALE:<\/strong> The leader of the Liberal party and hopeful Prime Minister brought his campaign to the East Hants area on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a bite to eat for his campaign team and the media that are following him on a separate bus at Shooters Bar & Grill, Mark Carney and Kings Hants Liberal candidate Kody Blois paid a visit to two local businesses in Elmsdale and Belnan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visits came after Carney made an announcement earlier in the day in Halifax to rebuild, reinvest, and rearm the Canadian Armed Forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that they did a tour of a facility in Dartmouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the visit to the Dartmouth facility, it was time for lunch and so they grabbed some delicious food at Shooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carney, his bus, the pool media that were with him, and Blois made a stop at Withrow’s Farm Market in Belnan where he spoke with employees and the owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also took photos with some of the folks that were there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, they made the trek down Highway 2 to Elmsdale Lumber Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At ELCO, Carney spoke with Robin Wilber about how more possible US tariffs has saw B.C. and Alberta lumber eastward into the N.S market and and about the business a little bit more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilber gave Carney and Blois a tour alongside son Mark at the facility as work was on going on some lumber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pool media only were allowed there for coverage only, and The Laker News was invited as local media. There were no questions permitted, as it was simply a tour of ELCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few people were seen across the street from the lumber company one with a sign. The man held it up as the two buses left ELCO heading to Musuodoboit Harbour, their next stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the shots we got from the visit at ELCO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
