Debra Wall holds a campaign sign and waves at passing drivers as she stands on a corner on Portage Avenue — alone.

Wall is running for the Animal Protection Party of Canada in Winnipeg Centre.

She doesn’t have a vast amount of campaign resources or volunteers to help deliver her message, whether it’s standing on a corner or knocking on doors in the riding.

“I’m not running against anybody. I’m running for the animals,” she said.

The party, formerly known as the Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada, is fielding just seven candidates across the country and the 66-year-old Wall, a retired veterinary assistant, is the only candidate in Manitoba.
