Cypress-Medicine Hat candidates cite collaboration, respect at forum
MEDICINE HAT, AB – In a provincial election campaign that has been dogged with attack ads and vitriol across the aisles, a surprisingly cordial atmosphere for Medicine Hat’s first forum debate.
Hosted by the Medicine Hat & District Chamber of Commerce, the two-hour debate was held at Medicine Hat College and featured four Cypress-Medicine Hat candidates in UCP’s Drew Barnes, NDP candidate Peter Mueller, Colette Smithers of the Alberta Party, and Kamaran Anwar from the Liberal Party.
Discussion bounced between a number of topics including economics, provincial debt, regulation of industries, and health care.
