‘A slap in the face’

Dear Editor:

RE: PC candidate Joseph Racinsky not planning to attend debates, Feb. 13.

According to the report in the Advertiser, Joseph Racinsky, the PC candidate in Wellington Halton-Hills has decided that he will pass on any of the debates/all candidates meetings that are being organized by various groups here in the riding.

Here’s a simple question for Racinsky: are you afraid to speak publicly? Or is the party afraid for you to speak publicly?

No nomination process. No debates. Should you be elected, are you planning on speaking at Queen’s Park?

Your decision to skip the debates is a disservice to our democratic process and a slap in the face of the people you say you wish to represent.

Mike Vasil,
