This is a break from decades of tradition and a huge blow to the media's ability to hold Pierre Poilievre's conservatives accountable during the run up to the election.
Conservatives, fascists, racists, and bigots in this country in municipal, provincial and federal elections, have been skipping town hall meetings and citizen accountability opportunities for a very long time. It is becoming the norm. At least for them. But we have to fight back against it.
Even in Vancouver right now, there are two by-elections. And those people, you know who... are skipping all the town halls.
I mean, it's obvious why they are: they have figured out that not showing up is less damaging than showing up and getting roasted like a republican Town Hall. Even these people, are so desperate to get signs up in the city, they are using the opt-out style. They'll put up a sign on your lawn, unless you say not to. Super democracy right?
But it also says something about who votes for those parties. They are okay with their candidates not showing up in public and answering questions. That's pretty scary.

You're doing a great job questioning the behaviour of PP & his team. There is nothing transparent about that bunch.
