Deepak Obhrai: Federal Campaign

Reform Party Dept: This is according to candidates vying to win the riding, which has been held by Conservative Deepak Obhrai since 1997, when he was first elected as a member of the Reform party, according to Calgary Herald. But with an election called for May 2, Obhrai said the main issue he's hearing from his constituents is the economy and it's largely a working-class riding, so it's no surprise that jobs, the economy and affordable housing are the top election items on the minds of Calgary East voters. It's a riding that has offered its share of electoral excitement this federal campaign when the incumbent, Obhrai, dove headlong into a heated city issue, heavily criticizing the controversial airport tunnel. As reported in the news.
