cnticaliy important to all people so you are not going to hear a lot of different opinions tonight No one is going to support allowing more toxins into the air The question therefore is which of the six candidates will do the most as the s provincial represen tative to ensure the environment is protected None of the candidates received the loudest show of support In stead it was an audience
