Scheer promoted the Conservativesº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™ pledge to build a national energy corridor during a morning stop in Edmonton, where he also took the stage with an old friend: Alberta Premier Jason Kenney.

Scheer, who will visit Saskatoon later in the day, urged cheering supporters to help his party win a handful of ridings in Alberta that the party lost in the 2015 election.

Singh made an announcement aboard a ferry en route to Vancouver from the NDPº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s critical battleground of Vancouver Island, where heº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s been campaigning for the last couple of days.
