Decision Canada: The winners and losers of the first week of the election campaign

Affordability is the focus as week two of the federal election campaign kicked off this morning.

NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh, is promising to extend full public dental coverage to people who earn less than $70,000 a year.

Justin Trudeau says a second-term Liberal government would increase old age security by an extra 10 per cent once seniors reach age 75, which would mean another 729-dollars per year for seniors.

And Conservative leader, Andrew Scheer, says his party would save $1.5 billion per year by eliminating federal programs where the money benefits corporations rather than protecting jobs. 

Now that the campaign is a week old, let’s take a look at how things are shaping up so far. Who’s had a good week, and who’s had a bad week?
