About 20 per cent of Canadians live in rural, remote, Indigenous, coastal or northern communities.

Rural communities are facing many of the same issues as their urban counterparts.

Issues include health care shortages, crime rates and the impact of tariffs on important sectors.

The Canadian Medical Association says the need for family doctors is prominent, but suggested federal leaders should focus on training.

“We need to have the capacity in those rural remote areas where Canadians live,” said Tom Stamatakis , president of the Canadian Police Association .

But he added policymakers are still not tackling the root issues facing rural communities.

“This is what leads to these feelings of insecurity and the feeling that crime is happening in these rural communities and no one’s responding to it because there just isn’t the capacity for it, he said.
