nine candidates were on hand. Here, moderator John Armstrong goes over some of the questions posed by attendees with the panel which vetted questions.
NWG candidates have their say Peculiarities which have been sprinkled throughout the Niagara West Glanbrook byelection process continued Monday night as Lincoln Chamber of Commerce hosted an allcandidates night. Seven of the nine candidates running for the Queen’s Park seat vacated when Tim Hudak resigned after 21 years in office were on hand. It’s not often one candidate in an election actively campaigns for one of their opponents, but that was
exactly what happened in front of a standing room only crowd. Queenie Yu, leader of the Stop the New Sex Ed Agenda party, said she was running in the byelection not necessarily to become an MPP but to bring attention to the sex ed curriculum issue as well as Bill 28, which is designed to change the “Children’s Law Reform Act, the Vital Statistics Act and various other acts by removing the terms “mother” and “father”.
Yu answered almost every question - on issues from hydro rates to affordable housing - by referencing the two issues her party is focused on, and often praised Ontario PC candidate Sam Oosterhoff’s responses. “I hope Sam is elected,” said Yu in her closing remarks before speaking directly to Oosterhoff urging him to oppose Bill 28 which she says is an attack on families and then urging voters to support him at the polls on Nov. 17.
Oosterhoof, a social conservative who said he was clear on his views during his campaign to become the PC candidate, told the crowd he is “100 per cent” pro-life when the candidates were asked their views on abortion and the sex education curriculum. “I’ve done my best to be clear” on the sex education issue, said Oosterhoof, explaining children need clear and comprehensive education that is relevant to the world they live in See MEETING, Page 2
