TORONTO – The Honourable Jim Karygiannis, Liberal Candidate for Scarborough-Agincourt, expressed his concern over the non-appearance of the Conservative Party Candidate, Harry Tsai, at an All-Candidates Round Table at WOWtv this morning.

 “Tsai is missing-in-action.” said Mr. Karygiannis.  “His failure to be at this round table shows a lack of concern for the voters of Scarborough-Agincourt.”

 Organizers of the All-Candidates Round Table contacted the campaigns for each of the four candidates running in Scarborough-Agincourt during the first week of the election.  Three of the campaigns confirmed the attendance of their candidates by the end of last week and, two days ago, Mr. Tsai’s Campaign told the station that he was “too busy” to participate.

 “Like his leader, Stephen Harper, Harry is showing contempt for the voters of Scarborough-Agincourt.  Harry is learning his lessons well.” Mr. Karygiannis commented.  “Voters have a right to know where the candidates stand on the issues.  By not showing up, Harry is showing that he really doesn’t care about the residents of Scarborough-Agincourt.”

蔡承志表现出轻视选民——詹嘉礼 

   多伦多——士嘉堡——爱静阁自由党候选人詹嘉礼对今天早上保守党候选人蔡承志没有出席WOWtv组织的所有候选人圆桌会议表示关注。

     詹嘉礼先生说：“蔡先生没有出席活动。他未能出席圆桌会议，展现出他缺乏对士嘉堡——爱静阁选民的关注。”

    所有候选人圆桌会议的组织者在竞选的第一周已经联络了在士嘉堡——爱静阁参加竞选的四位候选人。上周末，三个竞选办公室已经确认了他们的候选人参加会议,两天前,蔡先生的竞选办公室才告诉统筹处,他“太忙”不能参与。

    詹嘉礼先生说道：“蔡承志像他的领袖史蒂芬·哈珀一样,轻视士嘉堡——爱静阁的选民。承志要很好地吸取他的教训。选民有权知道候选人对议题的立场。不露面,表现出蔡承志真的不怎么在乎士嘉堡——爱静阁的居民。”
