Debate

I hope we have a good turnout and a lot of questions are asked.

I personally want to know more about the Carbon Taxes, The Gun Registry and the Economy and were it is all headed. Also, the infrastructure and education and what are they doing to correct the funding formula for these areas - as they are clearly not working.

Another concern I have is - why did the Gov't call an Election? That $340Million could have been used on something more pressing then an election.

Its grilling time, I hope these candidates are ready!

Thanks,
Ranajit
