More than 400 flocked to the Punjab Cultural Centre to see Federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau.
The popular politician made a campaign stop in Winnipeg on Wednesday.
Trudeau threw his support behind local politician, Robert-Falcon Ouellette.
Ouellette will soon be acclaimed as the Liberal candidate for Winnipeg Central.
Trudeau said Canada needs more indigenous voices, and renewed calls for an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada.
He also promised to strengthen Canada’s middle class.
“Our plan will give Canadians a real chance at better incomes,” said Trudeau.
Trudeau took pictures and signed copies of his book after the rally, and listened to what Manitobans had to say.
Farhad Sultanpour, president of the Kurdish Association of Manitoba, came to the rally to ask Trudeau to arm Kurdish soldiers in the fight against ISIS.
Sultanpour gave Trudeau a letter outlining his demands, and he said the leader agreed to look into it.
Earlier in the day Trudeau met with Winnipeg seniors and attended a lunch in honour of Chinese New Year.
The next federal election is in October.
