I'm thinking these charades need to stop anyhow. Its all yelling and screaming and interrupting each other.
Its not "debating" - its childish hogwash.

I find the local debates generally a lot more professional and all the candidates trying to be polite and "part of the community"

They're all just parrotting central party talking points; no original thought allowed.

Did Poilievre participate in any local debates in his Carleton riding during the general election?
With reports that 10 candidates will participate in this evening's debate in Camrose, I had been hoping that at least one long ballot type would show up for added controversy, but from the Wikipedia entry (another anomaly, listing local debates on a by-election entry) it appears that only those who are candidates for registered political parties and two legitimate independents were invited. But there is enough of a mix of referendumists and outright separatists that it could be a lively show.
I wonder if this debate will be a "one and done" for Poilievre or, depending on performance (his and others), will any of the other community debates happen.

He did not, the majority of, if not all CPC candidates did not attend local debates, there was suggestion it was a party policy

The resultant message was that once elected your CPC candidate will work for the party and not the constituency.

I get that the local candidate forums are a dogs’ breakfast (I think I had a post on here during the last election on how useless I thought they were) but it’s not a good look when the candidates of one party almost universally shuns them.

I watched the first few minutes of the candidates' forum (on CPAC) but didn't stay much past the introduction of the participants. Suffice to say, Poilievre was the most polished but perhaps that might be a negative; the expression "carpetbagger" comes to mine. I had hoped that a couple of the others would have made a better first impression but wearing a hat in poor lighting is not the way. Maybe later content of argument will override image.
