Conservative leader Andrew Scheer rallied his supporters and candidates in the Fraser Valley with an appearance in 91原创 Friday evening.

91原创 Aldergrove candidate Tako Van Popta introduced Scheer at an event that saw hundreds of people packed into Krause Berry Farms in the North Otter area.

Hours after unveiling the Conservatives鈥� platform, Scheer talked up campaign promises such as cutting GST from home heating bills.

鈥淚鈥檓 going to bring in a tax cut for everyone,鈥� he said.

Scheer also talked about other tax credits, including those for youth sports, included in his party鈥檚 platform.

He spent a good portion of his speech criticizing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau.

鈥淯nder Justin Trudeau, Canada is becoming a country of 鈥榥o,鈥欌�� Scheer said, also jabbing at Trudeau and his 鈥渢rust fund buddies鈥� while saying the Conservatives will stand up for middle class people.

With the Liberals and the Conservatives in a dead heat in recent polls, Scheer didn鈥檛 spend any time talking about NDP leader Jagmeet Singh or Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

He defended 鈥渇irearms owners鈥� and said a Conservative government would go after gangsters.

With 10 days left until the Oct. 11 election, and early voting already underway, Scheer encouraged supporters to campaign.

鈥淭his election is going to come down to every last riding and every last poll,鈥� said Scheer.

Scheer鈥檚 visit to 91原创 is the first by any party leader during an election campaign in many years.

With 91原创-area ridings having been won by Conservative or Reform MPs since the mid-1970s, the Conservatives typically haven鈥檛 bothered to shore up support, while no other party has wanted to spend time on a riding that was a slim chance to win at best.
