I live in Lethbridge and my biggest issue with Hillyer is skipping the candidate debates.
He showed up for the first one at the University and completely bombed. Giving broad, nonsensical answers and not even knowing the basics of his platform. His campaign pulled out of the next debate in Picture Butte without evening letting the organizing committee know. He proceeded to hide until the election under the guise of "door-to-door campaigning."
I mean, we expect pretty little of our candidates it seems and they get rewarded generously for being elected. Is it so little to ask that a candidate takes the time to make them selves available for public questioning? What's he going to do when they start debating in the House of Commons? Cover his ears and go into the fetal position?
