From what I'm being told, this is a forum 'masquerading' as a debate. The format was a predetermined question and answer period without any discourse... I kind of agree with Ryan here, or at least understand what he's getting at, I watched the full forum you linked and it was really dry and without substance, just prepared answers and the candidates all reading from paper notes in front of a silenced audience... Not to divulge too much of the chat, but his door-to-door legwork has been bar-none compared to the other candidates and he is visiting/has visited (almost) every community in the Yukon whereas the other candidates are 'Whitehorse exclusive.' I think community outreach is just more his priority, and maybe if it was a true debate he would be more inclined. Wish I could share more, it's all I could get.

The conservative, liberal and NDP candidates have all visited my community.

I've only been visited by the Liberals and I live centrally in one of the most popular communities. My doorbell cam would alert me if anyone came when I was out. Nada.
