BURLINGTON, ON April 12, 2011 – The Burlington Chamber of Commerce wants its members to hear what all four candidates running for the federal seat in the House of Commons and have arranged for an all candidates event on Wednesday April 27th – 7:30 am with a continental breakfast to be followed by a Question and Answer session.
All candidates from the four major parties that have registered to run have confirmed their attendance at the meeting. The meeting features a moderated question and answer session where attendees can ask questions of each of the candidates. Will the moderator let one candidate ask questions of another candidate – or is that too close to a debate?
Registration opens at 7:30am with a continental breakfast running till 8:00am. And the “games” run from 8:00 to 9:30am. The meeting is free to Chamber members and costs $10.00 (includes HST) for non-members. You must sign up in advance.
The event is sponsored by the Realtors Association of Hamilton-Burlington.
All four candidates are shown below.
-
- Mike Wallace wants to hold the seat and is depending on the traditional Tory vote to help him keep it.
-
- David Laird will tell the NDP story and hope that he can get some traction and at least improve his share of the popular vote.
-
- Alyssa Brierley hopes to move the Burlington seat back into the Liberal camp and be part of the government as well.
-
- Graham Mayberry will represent the Green Party. The part of the city he wants to reach however is outside the constituency boundary. Let’s see how he does.
