I just wanted to add to this: phone/email/door knocking is not the same as a public forum in the sense that the candidate isn't committing anything to the public record. My candidate has twice completely ignored questions from me on twitter (which is sort of the same public record), and in case you're wondering they weren't exactly hard hitting either!

Today we have one forum, the only one in the riding. I don't know if he will show up, and never considered the idea that he wouldn't. I really wanted to ask him some questions though and will be very disappointed if he fails to show.
