No nukes on wheels in Manitoba

When asked if her party would support a moratorium on transporting radioactive nuclear fuel waste through Manitoba, Progressive Conservative candidate Heather Stephanson equivocated, saying she would not answer a hypothetical question. By contrast, Green Party Leader James Beddome answered with a thunderous denunciation of allowing nuclear waste on Manitoba soil and declared the possibility of a Conservative government being elected Oct. 4 to be "hypothetical."

Judging from the applause for Beddome and the lack of it for Stephanson, it was clear where the audience stood on this issue.
