With the provincial election to represent Parry Sound—Muskoka at Queen’s Park just around the corner, Doppler reached out to the candidates, or their party headquarters, and posed five questions. Below are the questions and the answers we received.
Questions:
1. This riding has a rich natural environment, which is why many people live, vacation, and move to the area. How will you protect it?
2. What type, if any, economic development do you envision for the area?
3. How will you ensure the commitment to two new hospitals in Muskoka will continue?
4. What is your position with regard to freedom of speech?
5. How would your party respond to the threat of US tariffs?
Their response:
– Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, Graydon Smith (incumbent)
– Green Party of Ontario, Matt Richter
– Ontario New Democratic Party, Jim Ronholm
– Liberal Party of Ontario, David Innes

Matt Richter should be embarrassed by these responses. Talk about mailing it in. Jeez.
Listing a bunch of random sectors? C’mon, that’s a joke. Surely we deserve a little more effort from the Greens.
After reading these responses it’s so clear that Graydon is the best and only person for the job.
After six consecutive elections, that’s all Richter can muster? He clearly has no understanding of economics or job creation. His grasp of the issues is passing at best. His responses were lazy.
Graydon is thoughtful and thorough and hardworking.
Great format Huntsville Doppler..a fair representation of all parties. Please read; please consider; please VOTE.
