No hard feelings from a local PC candidate to the decision by organizers to go ahead with a northern leaders election debate without Tim Hudak. The PC party says it's too bad the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association couldn't have picked a date that was good for everyone. However, Harold Wilson says NOMA did what it thought best.
Thunder Bay Superior North PC candidate Derek Parks isn't too worried his leader won't be at the event and says Hudak plans to visit Thunder Bay in the near future. Monday's debate at the Valhalla Inn will feature NDP leader Andrea Horwath and Kathleen Wynne of the Liberals.
