T OM who? Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau ignored NDP Leader Tom Mulcair while saving all his venom for Prime Minister Stephen Harper during a rally in Winnipeg Wednesday evening. Moments after repeatedly criticizing Harper, Trudeau told reporters he is not attacking either party leader. " I'm very much focused on offering Canadians better government," he said. " I'm going to run a positive campaign. I won't be attacking anyone." Only minutes before, he had appeared to be very much attacking Harper. " When Mr. Harper puts forward his vision and his plan, you know it's his vision and his plan, because he doesn't listen to anyone else," Trudeau told the crowd. Trudeau delighted in pointing out Canadians learned Wednesday Harper might be unable to balance the federal budget. " He was going to balance the budget in time for the federal election," Trudeau said. " Today we found out he hasn't even managed to do that." Dressed in blue amid a sea of red at the Main Street headquarters of Kildonan- St. Paul candidate MaryAnn Mihychuk, Trudeau shook hands and posed for selfies with about 150 of the sweltering Grit faithful. The Liberal leader seized on a recent favourite theme, assuring the Liberal crowd his party will provide childcare benefits to those Canadians who need them, whereas Harper hands the money out equally to the richest families in the country. " Negative nasty attack ads work to get you elected," said Trudeau, alluding to Tory ads aimed at him. But, said the Liberal leader, they divide the country and increase cynicism, making it impossible to bring the country together as the Liberals will. Trudeau surrounded himself with the female candidates in Manitoba, among them Rebecca Chartrand, who drove from The Pas for the rally. He did it to highlight that more than 30 per cent of Liberal candidates are women, he explained. Mihychuk told the crowd she has won five elections, without mentioning she had been a New Democrat. " It took me a little bit longer to join the Liberal party, but I'm home now," said Mihychuk. Liberal MPs will be the voices of their communities in Ottawa, said Trudeau - Tory MPs are Stephen Harper's voice in their communities. Asked by reporters about a controversial medical- marijuana dispensary nearby on Main Street, Trudeau offered general support while specifically reiterating the Liberals would legalize marijuana so it could be regulated, and kept out of the hands of criminals and gangs. " The federal government has completely failed in its responsibility to keep people safe" by refusing to legalize marijuana, he said. " We have to create an entire system" to regulate marijuana, he added. Without making specific funding promises, Trudeau said he recognizes the value and the need of fixing cities' infrastructure. " What our mayors need, what our provinces need, is a real partner in Ottawa. Our cities are all tapped out," he said. " We all know that money spent on infrastructure has a greater return than on just about anything else." Trudeau said a Liberal government will be a partner in meeting the needs of Shoal Lake 40 First Nation - from which Manitoba draws its drinking water, and which has to boil its own water and cross a lake to leave the community. But he made no specific promises. nick. martin@ freepress. mb. ca Grit chief ignores Mulcair's rise Sets sites on PM during local stop By Nick Martin DEFICIT ON THE HORIZON / A12 PHIL HOSSACK / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau banters with participants at the fringe festival Wednesday afternoon in Old Market Square.
