UPDATE: Colleen McCleery, the PC candidate appointed by party leader Doug Ford to run in Ottawa Centre, says she won’t take part in Thursday night’s debate at the Glebe Community Centre.

Candidates from the four leading parties — the Liberals, the PCs, the NDP, and the Greens — will appear at a debate on Thursday night at the Glebe Community Centre, where they will tackle a range of topics and field questions from residents of Ottawa Centre.
The debate, which was jointly organized by all 11 community associations in the riding (including the Centretown Citizens Community Association and the Hintonburg Community Association), will touch on both local topics — like the widening of the Queensway — and broader issues, like climate change and universal prescription drug coverage. ....
Many of the organizing community associations are among the city’s more dense, urban neighbourhoods, so there is likely to be a focus on affordability and urban infrastructure. ----
