The mayor’s briefing on local issues for the Conservative Party candidates in the Ottawa area was cancelled Tuesday morning after all nine candidates dropped out, some as recently as Monday night.
According to a spokesperson for the mayor’s office, there were was a “mixed bag” of Conservative cancellations.
“What I would call a no-show would be someone we never heard back from, so there was a few of those, there were a few cancellations, and there was a few who were maybes who we just never saw,” said Brook Simpson.
Despite the setback, Simpson said the mayor’s office won’t be giving up on trying to express the city’s priorities to the Conservative Party.
“Time is short and campaign schedules are hard to align,” he said, “so we’ll try and get them to come in another time.”
Pierre Poilievre, the candidate for Carleton, has committed to a meeting with Watson “in the next two weeks” along with his colleagues, the mayor confirmed.
Just had a call from @PierrePoilievre – pleased that he has personally committed to attend (with colleagues) a briefing in the next 2 weeks
— Jim Watson (@JimWatsonOttawa) August 25, 2015
The meetings with the major party candidates had gone smoothly so far in terms of attendance. Monday morning’s meeting with local Greens saw the party bring its full slate of Ottawa candidates, the CEO of the Ottawa West-Nepean riding (where they don’t yet have a candidate in place,) and three Gatineau-area candidates.
The Liberals, meanwhile, had all nine of their Ottawa-area candidates meet with Watson on Aug. 20.
The NDP candidates are tentatively scheduled to meet with Watson Sept. 3.
