Five self-described progressive Victoria council candidates boycotted a forum staged by Candidates For Change, which is linked to the People’s Party of Canada and anti-vaccine-mandate groups
The good thing about this fuss over the all-candidates meeting? It gives Victorians a bit of a clearer idea of who’s who on the ballot.
The gist of the announcement was that the five did not want to legitimize with their presence an event advanced by people who were hiding their roots in an attempt to appear more politically palatable to the electorate. Still, whether the groups are independent or not, there’s an overlap between many of the people in VIVA, Candidates For Change and We Unify. Supportive of one another is the way Candidates For Change’s David Stott described relations between the groups Tuesday.
As the 100 or so audience members filed in to Tuesday’s event, they passed a table at which VIVA representatives made campaign literature available.
