She has no chance to defeat the capable Peggy Nash, the riding's NDP incumbent. That job is up to famed Liberal Gerard Kennedy. [My prediction: Peggy takes it by 2-3 points.]
My kids' school invited the candidates to individually present at a time of their choosing.
The Green candidate showed up.
The NDP candidate showed up.
The Liberal candidate showed up.
But the Conservative candidate did not.
She was "too busy" to show up at a time and date of her own choosing.
Saweczko has failed to show up for other events as well. According to The Star
The Conservative candidate, Jilian Saweczko, was a no-show at an all-candidates debate on CBC's Metro Morning on Sept. 24, and then a coffee-house chat on CTV. She has not responded to numerous interview requests from the Star. On her website, she has said she'll fight to tackle crime, improve the environment and strengthen business.My daughter remarked that she was disappointed and wouldn't vote for Harper if she could.
Way to go, kid!
See harpocracy.ca for a large listing of Conservative stealth candidates.
