Bernia Martin – Liberal Candidate for Oxford.
Khadijah Haliru – NDP Candidate for Oxford County.
I am providing some questions to the candidates which I will post the response to on this website. The questions are;
- Do you agree with protecting freedoms in Canada? This would include abortion rights for woman and that every individual should be considered equal regardless of religion, race, national or ethnic origin, colour, sex, age or physical or mental disability. This would extend to the poor treatment of LGBTQ in our community.
- How do you feel about the parachuting of a candidate into Oxford for the federal by-election. Do you support such political favours in politics, and pushing out local candidates or should the parties allow us to vote for local established candidates? (e.g. Arpan Khanna Conservative Party of Canada). In all fairness, this incident was not provincial politics, but rather federal politics.
- In Norwich Ontario the majority of high school students travel to Norfolk (Delhi) for a high school education. As the public school is bursting at the seams, should not Oxford look at educating students within its own boundaries?
- With regard to the Thames River School Board questionable expenditure practices, are they trustworthy regards to funding at the schools? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/controversial-blue-jays-stadium-trip-for-tvdsb-leaders-cost-nearly-40k-1.7321942
- Would you support increased STEM programs within Oxford, to help children pursue college educations (e.g. https://collegesinontario.com/college/trinity-college-university-of-toronto/)?
