I think there would be mass disqualification if this band of candidates were subjected to a public debate. Most of the fluff cases and hobbyists would not survive it. The ones mostly dependent on social media, with questionable supporters and over-active Twitter accounts, are the ones I'd say need to be vetted in-person, thoroughly examined with eyes and ears.
I think we really do need to set up a program of debates for 2018. If the Town and Region are really committed to increasing voter turnout, and want to avoid debacles like Lambo and other under-performing councillors, this would be a great tool. Are they concerned? Maybe not.
