The first status update on the letter<\/a> is that almost a third of the candidates have made it difficult to get in touch. In decreasing order of difficulty, the problems are\/were:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  1. As noted in the original post, Canadian Heritage Party candidates Carl Hiemstra and Lesley Bartley don’t have any contact information published yet.<\/li>\r\n
  2. At the time of writing Conservative candidate Paul van Meerbergen didn’t have a website or email address listed. However, I was able to find an email address from his previous campaign for city council. (His listing on the CPC website has since been updated to add contact info.)<\/li>\r\n
  3. Conservative candidate Mary Lou Ambrogio’s widely publicized general email address bounced, reporting “Unknown user”. (I was able to find an alternative address.)<\/li>\r\n
  4. Email to Conservative candidate Joe Preston’s media liaison garnered a surprising auto-response, which noted that that person no longer works for his office. However, the message provided two additional contacts, neither of which had similar delivery issues.<\/li>\r\n
  5. NDP candidate Steve Holmes doesn’t have an email address, just a contact form.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n

    The ones who made it easy are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    • Noel Burgon (Green)<\/li>\r\n

    • Peter Ferguson (NDP)<\/li>\r\n
    • Jacquie Gauthier (Liberal)<\/li>\r\n
