Thunder Bay Atikokan Debate is civil
The three main party candidates duked it out at the Community
Auditorium. All three candidates lobbed a number of barba at each other
over a number of topics. Incumbent Liberal MPP Bill Mauro was the most
vocal, attacking his opposition over a number of issues, including the
Ring of Fire development, roads, taxes and transparency. PC Candidate
Fred Gilbert lobbed a number of bombs at Mauro over, hydro rates, the
green energy act, and debt servicing levels. NDP Candidate Mary Kozorys
remained relatively silent but did attack Mauro over unemployment
levels and spoke up over funding levels for long term care beds in North
Western Ontario.
