MacMaster expects a number of issues will be raised by voters as he goes door-to-door.

MacMaster says there’s a real hunger for change, pointing to the more than two thousand people in the riding who have signed up to be members of the Conservative Party.

MacMaster says Cape Breton-Canso-Antigonish is a large riding, making up almost one third of the province’s geography, but there are a lot of shared interests.   MacMaster  says he will do all he can to help, in all corners of the riding.
