All Candidates’ Debate in Toronto Centre Provincial By-Election – The 519 Community Centre
We attended the All Candidates’ debate in Toronto Centre at The 519 Community Centre.
It was standing room only by the time we arrived.
There was an old time Town Hall Meeting feeling to the evening.
Though this is a provincial by-election, the public’s concerns during the Question and Answer session were surprisingly heavy on municipal issues:
- Crime and Safety
- Ambulance Response Times
- Safe-Injection Sites
- Exclusivity and Discrimination
It is expected that former Mayoral hopeful Glen Murray will win the seat and shortly thereafter be installed into Premier McGuinty’s cabinet.
Here are a few shaky videos recorded from the back of the room.
The Candidates attending this debate were
- Glen Murray – Liberal
- Cathy Crow – NDP
- Pamela Taylor – Progressive Conservative
- Stefan Premdas – Green
- Heath Thomas – Libertarian
Toronto By-Election Day in Toronto Centre is February 4, 2010.
