Mississauga mayoral candidate Carolyn Parrish will not participate in any more debates as the city edges closer to election day, her campaign team says.
Parrish attended one debate in the Mississauga neighbourhood of Port Credit last week. Parrish told CBC she could not attend two other debates earlier this month because she was holding fundraising events at those times. "This is obviously quite a shock and very disappointing given that we know that housing is absolutely a valid issue in this election," Singh told CBC Radio's Here and Now on Monday.
Christine Simundson, a political strategist with Rubicon Strategy, said on Monday that she is not surprised but she thinks it's a strategy that may not pay off, adding that engagement matters. Simundson said at least three candidates: Tedjo, Damerla and Stephen Dasko, are knocking on doors and trying to expand their name recognition by posting extensively on social media.Carolyn Parrish's campaign team sent this statement to CBC News in a text. Some of the other candidates are questioning Parrish's decision not to debate.
"Someone who is afraid to face residents and the press cannot fulfill her duties as a candidate and therefore is not fit to represent our great city."
