Incumbent Nunavut MP Leona Aglukkaq is joined by Iqaluit elder Annie Shoo, 84, as she signs registration papers to make her the official Conservative candidate for the upcoming federal election Oct. 19. In a brief press conference outside the Elections Canada office in Iqaluit Sept 3, Aglukkaq promised to continue investing in economic development in Iqaluit, and the North. Three other candidates have announced their desire to challenge Aglukkaq and take the Nunavut seat: Liberal Hunter Tootoo, New Democrat Jack Anawak and Spencer Rocchi, who will run for the Green Party.
