THUNDER BAY – Politics – Candidates in the Thunder Bay Atikokan Riding gathered tonight for an election forum with the major party candidates; Bill Mauro, Liberal Party; Harold Wilson Progressive Conservative Party; Mary Kozorys, New Democratic Party, John Northey Green Party candidate, and the Libertarian Party candidate, Joe Talarico.
The format allowed each candidate a five minute opening comment, and then four questions asked of each candidate, outside of the hearing of the other candidates.
MPP Bill Mauro started the discussion forum, and then outlined how the Premier’s office and the Ministry of the Environment in order to respect the concerns raised by the Fort William First Nation would not be making any decision on the Horizon Wind Inc. project on the Nor’Wester Mountain Escarpment.
The entire opening statements, the questions asked of each candidate, and the open forum will be online shortly.
