Video: Fantino blows off voters

November 24, 2010

Conservatives Against Fantino had the pleasure of attending the only public all candidates debate in Vaughan last night to hear what Julian Fantino & his opponents had to say to the voters with only 5 days left until the by election in which Fantino hopes to unseat the Liberals. 

Unfortunately for the voters and for all who believe in Democracy, Mr. Fantino blew off the event. Organizers made every effort to accommodate Julian including rescheduling this event to suit his schedule, but he was unwilling to engage his opponents in a public debate.

With a healthy contingent of Conservatives Against Fantino in attendance, Mr. Fantino who has become inaccessible to the public and the media since we began campaigning against him had a chance to address his potential constituents, the media, and his detractors all at the same time, but he chose not to attend.

As Kim Champion – Editor of the Vaughan Citizen newspaper explains, every effort was made to ensure Julian would be able to attend, but he blew them off with a long winded last minute explanation about having a previous engagement.

 

Unlike Fantino, Tony Genco, the Liberal candidate for Vaughan excused himself from a family commitment to attend.

We could speculate at length about why Julian didn’t show up, but personally I believe it’s a simple combination of cowardice and desperation. Fantino is terrified of CANACE because we wield a truth against which he has no defense, and the Conservative Party of Canada is desperate to keep their hot headed candidate from saying anything that will further damage their image.
