All Candidates Meeting

I wanted to attend an All Candidates Meeting for my riding of Cloverdale-Langley City.  I found one in Cloverdale that was sponsored by the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce.  It was being held in the old Clova Theatre and also being broadcast on Zoom.   I sent an email about three weeks ago asking for a ticket or a zoom invite. I would have gone to the theatre but I would prefer Zoom.  They only gave the date of September 14th, but no time.

Last night, three minutes before the meeting started, I got my invite:

Needless to say, I didn't watch it!   I'm happy I read all the platforms and voted in the advance election.  The polls say it's too close to call.   I don't believe the polls as they aren't always right, but I find them interesting to follow.

This is the poll I watch.  Our riding earlier said Conservative Tamara Jensen, "leaning";  it now says "likely".   Everything could change by election day.  The pop ups are a little annoying.

It's easy to remember as there are 338 seats in Parliament!
