Another Debate, The Same Missing Candidate

The big story of the Ward 3 debates is familiar..one missing candidate.    Again.. Mark Leblanc declined to participate because he didn't like the format. 

The remaining 7 did show and covered a range of topics from roads to P3 funding, police and fire funding and performance reviews for city staff.
 

Allen Leslie tells CHSJ News this was his second attempt and he tells us he's getting better at it and he hopes everyone agrees.

Michelle Hooten says the subject matter was the same on the Lower West side and in the South end. 


Brian Boyd questions the City's definition of the word priority adding those neighbourhoods are not focused on.


Barbara Ellemberg says people in this urban setting are hurting and can't afford any kind of tax increase.

Graeme Stewart-Roberston says road reconstructions costs can be reduced with road diets by increasing public transportation.


Gerry Lowe pointed out that no council has ever asked Local 18 to discuss their contract.
 

All 7 candidates encouraged voters to exercise their right on May 4th or May 13th.
