The theme of inclusion was thread ed all through the debate, with Long saying he's convinced there are mil lions more silent Canadians who are of like minds with the Alliance. "These people are so frustrated by a prime minister who is so out of touch by what matters to them," said Long, who maintained that voters must choose a leader to win, not come in sec ond. `T h e Liberal free ride in Ontario is over." Manning - who called the Ontario Liberal MPs the " 101 Dalmatians in Ottawa" - said he did the "risky thing" by refusing to hide his head in the sand and move toward creating the Alliance.

Martin agreed with Manning how vital it is to elect a leader who can sell Alliance policies across the country, especially those dealing with healthcare, tax ation and education. "I am sick to death of people not getting healthcare when they need it, but when the bottom line allows it," he said. Day said Ontarians are not a breed apart and share the same concerns of other J o h n S ta c h o w Canadians. He was quick to point out, however, that while Ontario is vital he has not forgotten about citizens further east for a moment. "When I talk about win- ning the majority in Canada, I include Quebec," said Day, who spoke the only French of the evening. For his part, leadership race new comer Stachow was a one-trick pony throughout the debate, blaming every Canadian ill on the banks and decades of government collusion. It got to the point where snickers from (he crowd preceded Stachow's answers as people anticipated, correctly, his predictable responses. When asked specifically how the Alliance can drum up numbers in Ontario, Manning said vote-splitting between the Alliance and Progressive Conservatives must end. M artin stressed the necessity o f bringing together Tories, disaffected Liberals and fiscally responsible NDPers, as well as the "majority of Canadians who are turned off politics." "We need to articulate solutions and have the guts to implement them," said Martin. In the end, all five candidates paint ed a picture of a country being held back from its true and rightful place in the world both econom ically and socially by the current government's dishonesty, inaction and timidity. Thursday's debate was sponsored by the Oakville Alliance Riding Association, with support by Alliance ridings in Burlington, Halton and four others in Hamilton. Bos < & Co.
