Rural Cell phone coverage is a priority for the provincial NDP in the New Year.
NDP leader Wab Kinew says one of the big issues he’s been interested in lately is cell phone affordability and service for Manitobans.
“One of the priorities for me as the leader of the NDP is to take steps at the Leg to try and make cell phone bills more affordable, and also to push the cell phone providers to increase the amount of coverage.”
Kinew says emergency alerts are a big issue that needs to be addressed.
If people are going to keep paying so much, they should be getting the emergency alerts. He mentioned incidents like the Alonsa Tornado as one example of where more people needed to receive the warning.
