The candidate’s debate for the riding of University Rosedale at Rosedale United Church was a standing room only occasion Wednesday night. The large sanctuary of the old church at Glen Rd. and Roxborough Drive saw every seat filled both on the main floor and in the balcony. Only three of the four invited candidates were present. Conservative Helen-Claire Tingling was ill and unable to join Global Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, NDP candidate Melissa Jean-Baptiste Vajda and Green Party candidate Tim Grant. It appears that there are at least two others running in UR. They are People’s Party candidate Aran Lockwood and the Communist Party’s Drew Garvie. The debate was sponsored by five contiguous resident’s associations; North Rosedale, South Rosedale, Moore Park, Governor’s Bridge and Summerhill
