The latest debate in Algoma Manitoulin Kapuskasing featured only two of the three candidates.  Among the issues Carol Hughes of the NDP and the Liberals’ Heather Wilson tackled were how to make the riding more desirable for young people.  Turnout was low at the Espanola debate with only about 40 people taking it in.  The third candidate, Andre Robichaud of the Tories, told Moose news he wouldn’t be at the debate because he had a commitment to campaign in another part of the riding.
