PC candidate a serial no-show at debates
Mississauga-Streetsville Conservative Candidate Wafik Sunbaty skipped another two all-candidates debates, declining to attend an all-candidates forum Monday evening at Eden United Church, and confirming but not showing up for an all-candidates forum Tuesday afternoon at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School.
Sunbaty’s decision not to attend was noted before the debate attendees at Eden United Monday evening by moderator, Ward 9 Councillor Pat Saito. Mount Carmel teacher Marion Kupper told the roughly 150 students attending the debate at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Secondary School Tuesday afternoon that Sunbaty had confirmed his attendance, but did not show up, with no explanation.

“The residents of Lisgar, Meadowvale and Streetsville deserve better than to be ignored by an absentee Conservative candidate who has hid behind the Tory central campaign all year,” said incumbent MPP and Mississauga-Streetsville Liberal candidate Bob Delaney, seeking his third term in the Ontario Legislature.
“The Tory comic book platform, with its gigantic $14 billion funding hole has to be discussed publicly. The PC candidate has been a serial no-show both before and during the campaign. As a Liberal, I want to stand him up publicly, and show just how empty the Tory platform is. We need to contrast Conservative neglect with my own track record of doing what I pledge to do in Lisgar, Meadowvale and Streetsville. Our party, in government, has steered Ontarians through the worst recession since the great depression of the 1930s. We have an innovative path to the future in our platform, and in such landmark accomplishments as the Green Energy Act and tax reform that have brought the Province its first-ever, made-in-Ontario recovery. Hudak is offering a path of cuts, confrontation and chaos back to the past. My Conservative opponent won’t even come out to defend or discuss any part of their inconsistent, nonsensical platform,” Delaney said.
