RIDING PROFILES: The Free Press was quick off the mark last Saturday, one day after the election call, with the first four in a series of riding profiles giving readers a quick look at candidates nominated so far in this region.
Using these snapshots showing who is running and where is a great idea, but it quickly resulted in cries of "Hey, we've been left out" from Freedom Party candidates.
"We're noticing a lack of coverage (of our party)," said Robert Vaughan, Freedom Party secretary, after profiles of London Centre and Elgin ridings appeared without their inclusion.
The omission was due in part to the fact the Freedom Party doesn't hold formal nomination meetings and the names of two of its candidates were sidetracked at the paper.
The information on those missed has now has appeared in the daily Election Digest column.
The riding profiles that have appeared to date are really a kind of "status report", subject to later additions which arrive by the May 25 deadline for nominating election candidates.
Each riding profile will be repeated in an election tabloid shortly before the June 8 polling day.
