Paul Carroll, the PC candidate in the upcoming provincial election on April 4 said on Monday that Cameron Robock’s departure from the scene as the local consituency’s NDP candidate might be chalked up as “an unfortunate experience for him. We all can learn a lesson regarding social media. When you post it, it’s there for the rest of
your life.”
Carroll said he understood how something like that could happen, especially if the evidence was culled from online messages sent some time ago.
Carroll said he had heard rumblings that the Thursday night candidate forum was threatened since it promised to be a two-person race, but with Robock deciding to remain in the race as an independent candidate, that would make it a three-person candidate’s night again. It has since been learned the NDP’s replacement candidate, Tina Vuckovic, expect to be in attendance and ready to debate the local constituency issues.
The Liberals and Green Party will be running phantom (no show) candidates in the local constituency.
The Green Party will be represented by Branden Schick, the Liberals by Oscar Karkabatov. Monday afternoon, it was established that neither Schick or Karkabatov had any intention of visiting the local constituency.
The active candidates in the local riding are now Lori Carr, for the Sask. Party, Carroll for the Progressive Conservatives, Robock, now running as an independent and parachute NDP candidate Vuckovic.
