Virtual Debate for York Centre Federal Candidates
About:
As the federal election campaign intensifies, Ya’ara Saks and Roman Baber are set to face off in a live virtual debate hosted by B’nai Brith Canada — and you’re invited to watch it in real-time.
These candidates want your vote, but first, they need to answer the tough questions. What’s their vision for our riding? How will they lead on national issues? And where do they stand when it comes to rising antisemitism?
The debate takes place on Tuesday, April 15 at 7:00 PM ET. It’s online and free to attend, but space is limited, so reserve your spot now.
