MacKay committed to attending one of the debates but backed out due to a scheduling conflict
pandemic has meant few opportunities for would-be voters to compare the candidates side by side, said Angelo Isidorou, who admitted he has not made up his mind who he’ll vote for in the contest.
Isidorou said the organizers worked to get the backing of all 42 area riding associations for the event to ensure candidates would feel it was worth their time. They also offered to be flexible on the date. So far, they have 2,500 people registered to watch. Watch: MacKay spoke about systemic racism during the last Conservative leadership debate.

“This is not an official LEOC debate and therefore we’re unable to answer your questions surrounding it. It also means the LEOC rules around debates do not apply.” The point of Wednesday’s event is to make sure the candidates do have answers now, and they’ve been given the questions in advance.
