ELMSDALE: The leader of the Liberal party and hopeful Prime Minister brought his campaign to the East Hants area on Tuesday afternoon.
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.
The visits came after Carney made an announcement earlier in the day in Halifax to rebuild, reinvest, and rearm the Canadian Armed Forces.
After that they did a tour of a facility in Dartmouth.

Following the visit to the Dartmouth facility, it was time for lunch and so they grabbed some delicious food at Shooters.
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.
He also took photos with some of the folks that were there.

After that, they made the trek down Highway 2 to Elmsdale Lumber Company.
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.
Wilber gave Carney and Blois a tour alongside son Mark at the facility as work was on going on some lumber.
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.
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.
Here are some of the shots we got from the visit at ELCO:
