From CBC:
It's voting time in Canada and CBC wants to hear from you.
In the lead-up to the election, representatives from the political
parties have been invited to a series of town hall debates across
the country. Audience members will be asking the party
candidates questions related to a major Canadian issue.
To make this happen, we need you.
Canadians have identified the economy as a key issue in this
election. That’s the subject of our first debate, which will take
place on the evening of September 29th in Toronto at the CBC
Broadcasting Centre. We are looking for people who have
recently become unemployed due to changes in the economy.
This is your chance to put your questions about the economy to
our political leaders.
If you're interested in participating or know someone who might
be, please reply to the email address or phone number below.
