Dear Editor:
RE: PC candidate Joseph Racinsky not planning to attend debates, Feb. 13.
Last Saturday I saw three men putting up a sign for Joseph Racinsky, Ontario PC candidate for Wellington-Halton Hills.
When I asked why Racinsky would not publicly debate other candidates, none of the volunteers would answer. I also explained that lifelong Conservative voters are very upset. Volunteer Tim did eventually ask me why I was not friendlier! Clearly my friendliness was the only thing that he was allowed to talk about.
Racinsky was not chosen by local members of the Ontario PC party. He was given that privilege.
Racinsky will not publicly debate other candidates and help us get to know him. The Ontario PC Party thinks 22-year-old Racinsky, with limited skills, limited experience and limited education, should represent us. Two years ago, less than one in five people in Ward 2 of Halton Hills chose him at age 20, for his part-time councilor job.
Please, Ontario PC Party, why are you not respecting us?
We had the best provincial representative and now you are giving us no choice, a candidate who will not debate in public and your volunteers won’t answer simple questions.
Barb Zink,
