Since then, Cooke has spearheaded forums in three different elections, with help from a volunteer advisory committee including representatives from Warktimes, CFTA and CHMA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m convinced that when we when we get off our social media and actually meet and greet each other, our fellow citizens, I think we all realize that we have so much more in common than we do in terms of what divides us,\u201d says Cooke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooke says she also believes that the ability to vote freely in elections is a \u201cvery precious right\u201d, and \u201cnot something to be taken lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI just want to help aid in this process of helping residents, Canadian citizens, our neighbours, get to know their candidates more and to make an informed vote,\u201d says Cooke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Six candidates in Beaus\u00e9jour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elections.ca\/Scripts\/vis\/candidates?L=e&amp;ED=13002&amp;EV=62&amp;EV_TYPE=1&amp;PC=e4l3n9&amp;PROV=&amp;PROVID=&amp;MAPID=&amp;QID=8&amp;PAGEID=17&amp;TPAGEID=&amp;PD=&amp;STAT_CODE_ID=-1\">six candidates nominated in the Beaus\u00e9jour riding<\/a>, which runs from Cape Tormentine to Saint Louis de Kent, and includes Tantramar, Strait Shores, Cap Acadie, Memramcook, Shediac, and parts of Dieppe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"959\" height=\"1280\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Beausejour-2025-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Beausejour-2025-2.jpg 959w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Beausejour-2025-2-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Beausejour-2025-2-768x1025.jpg 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Beaus\u00e9jour riding map.

LeBlanc has held the Beausejour seat for 25 years and got nearly 56% of the votes in the riding in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Conservative Party candidate for Beaus\u00e9jour is Moncton business owner <strong>Nathalie Vautour<\/strong>, who lives in Dieppe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Housing rights activist <strong>Alex Gagne<\/strong> is running for the NDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Josh Shaddick<\/strong> is running for the Green Party of Canada, after having run as a provincial Green candidate in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former provincial and Strait Shores municipal candidate <strong>Donna Allen<\/strong> will be on the ballot for the Libertarian Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The People\u2019s Party of Canada has nominated <strong>Eddie Cornell<\/strong> from Shediac Cape, a decorated veteran who was involved in the convoy movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooke says she\u2019s had confirmation so far from LeBlanc (Liberal), Allen (Libertarian), and Cornell (People&#8217;s Party), and that Gagne (NDP) has agreed to participate if his work schedule allows. She&#8217;s still waiting to hear back from the Conservatives and Greens regarding participation of Vautour and Shaddick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Effort to include francophone voters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooke also says this federal candidates forum will aim to serve a wider audience than usual. After learning there were no plans for a candidates&#8217; forum in Memramcook, Cooke resolved to make the April 15 forum \u201cas welcoming, as bilingual as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy French is a little better than that of our prime minister,\u201d jokes Cooke. \u201cWe\u2019re going to do our very best, and just hope it&#8217;s going to be a good event for everybody and a chance for many, many communities to come together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooke is inviting those who can\u2019t make it on April 15 to email their candidate questions for consideration: the email address is forumquestions4@gmail.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Voter information cards due in mailboxes by Friday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elections Canada says registered voters should be receiving their voter information cards in the mail by Friday, April 11, and anyone who doesn\u2019t can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elections.ca\/content2.aspx?section=vote&amp;dir=vic&amp;document=index&amp;lang=e\">update their information online<\/a> or at an Elections Canada office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voter information cards make it easier to vote but electors can also choose to register when they go to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Election Day polling station for Tantramar will be at the Middle Sackville Baptist Church on April 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advanced polling will happen over the Easter weekend at the Tantramar Veterans Memorial Civic Centre from April 18 to 21.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s just three weeks to go until election day, and one Sackville woman is helping make sure voters are informed about their choices on April 28.
