The race for the Burlington seat in the legislature is not as tight - the PC's have the edge - the undecided could make the difference

BURLINGTON, ON

 

Our final data set from the on the street, one on- interviews carried out by Jason Octavio, a Sheridan Journalism student is set out below

Our survey began May 6th and ended yesterday.

People were engaged where people congregate, at the mall, at he LCBO stores, at supermarkets and on the main streets of the city and at the GO stations.

It is not as tight a race as it was at the middle of the month. Two things were evident. A lot of people do not plan to vote and a lot of people did not want to say who they planned to vote for.

The proof is in the pudding as they say.

The results will begin to flow in shortly after the polls close. The Gazette will do what it can to provide a flow of local information and the ideally, interview all the candidates before the evening is over.

Your job now is to decide who you want to be your representative at Queen’s Park.

We got a call from an Orchard Park resident asking why we did not provide coverage to the election race in the riding of Oakville North Burlington. It was a matter of resources – we just didn’t have the manpower needed to do a survey in that riding.

The candidates for the riding of Oakville North Burlington are set out below.

    Bev.
    Why should the PC candidate get the seat? Simply put, if she gets more votes? I’m not aware of any other requirements. It’s for all of us to decide in a democratic election. Or are you suggesting we remove her from the ballot?

    Having said that, Ontario is in my respectful opinion one of the greatest places in the world to live. Premier Ford help make it that way. Thats another reason to vote for the PC candidate.

    If you apply for employment and don’t show up for the interview should you still, get the job??
    Why should the PC candidate get the seat when she couldn’t attend the debate? Another PC member attended the debate in a neighboring riding. Is this the type of assistance we would receive from her office if she was elected?? Or is she another one of Ford’s puppets?
