<p>Hi Peter,</p>
<p>thank you for attending last Sunday's debate .. I stated clearly
that I was not going to allow party plugs, the purpose of my style
of 'democracy in action" is to explore the PERSONALITY and SKILLS
and EXPERIENCE of the candidates .. topics need not be hashed at
my gatherings ..</p>
<p><font color="#ff0000"><b>topics and issues will be handled BY THE
RIGHT PERSON representing us .... as they arise during the
four years .. not in the two hours, and it will be our
responsibility to DEMAND that they be addressed<br>
</b></font></p>
<p>I also promote mutual respect, if someone is making a valid point
.. I am NOT going to cut them off just to keep time .. you had
plenty of time to have your say ... if you had wished to ..</p>
<p>and to answer your other question .. same parties have responded
for the next two gatherings with added P P C member confirming so
far ... I will also be having similar for Waterloo and Cambridge<br>
</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>Gehan<br>

I attended the debate hosted by "Cross Cultures" last Sunday.<br>
<br>
- Only 3 candidates attended the debate. Does someone know whether
all of the candidates confirmed for the other 2 debates in
Kitchener South Hespeler and Kitchener Conestoga?<br>
<br>
- I think that an improvement to the debates is limiting the
amount of time each candidate has to answer (e.g. 2 minutes) and
having a time keeper who agressively cuts off candidates who go
over their alotted time (in case the candidate decides to answer a
question by pivoting to restating their platform). This would make
time for more people to ask questions. I attended a political
convention this summer which had aggressive time keeping. I think
that it worked really well<br>
