YOU can have a say in the questions that are asked of Canadian Federal Election Candidates during the upcoming televised debate, but hurry the deadline is fast approaching.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and fill out the form. If enough of us ask for the Candidates’ views on the slaughter of horses within Canada for human consumption, and the inhumane transport of horses to Japan and South Korea to be slaughtered… Imagine the increased awareness we can create.
When you scroll down on the link above there is a space on the form for TWO questions…
EXAMPLE: Feel free to copy and paste.

NOTE: The online submission form closed September 22nd, 2019 BUT you can still ask any of the candidates questions, see #2 below.
