Opposition candidates set out their stalls on the topics of crime, the economy, seniors, and education at a town hall meeting.Around 30 people attended the event at the Dalton E Tucker Primary School in Southampton last night.Party leader Craig Cannonier told them Bermuda has enough resources that no one should be left behind.He believes the key to improving life is “by respecting one another even in our differences”.He criticised what he views as a lack of accountability for the current leaders of the country, who he said are “getting away with a whole truckload of a mess.”He said if his party gets elected: “If we don’t live up to what we say we are going to do, then I ask that you fire us”.Spokesperson on National Security Jeff Baron said crime in Bermuda has grown faster than the ability of institutions such as the police and prisons to manage it. He pledged the party will tackle that problem if elected as current policies and strategies “are not being managed appropriately”.Bob Richards, Shadow Minister for Finance and Economy, Trade and Industry described Bermuda’s economy as a sinking ship. He said people feel they are drowning and “everything they own is on the ship” in terms of real estate they own in Bermuda.He said the OBA will “pump out that water and repair those sails” by regrowing the economy so more customers “are eating in our restaurants and buying our cars”.He said policies will include the suspension of term limits, which have “chased our business away” and streamlining the work permit application process, which he described as “bureaucratic and inconsistent”.Spokeswoman for Seniors Louise Jackson criticised the “unfair, unaffordable and unsustainable” health insurance system. She also condemned conditions in rest and residential care homes.She said legislation to protect seniors lacks teeth, and the National Office for Seniors has been unresponsive to complaints.Toni Spring, an educator who is standing for election in Sandys South, described teachers as “stressed and stretched”.Currently working as a substitute teacher, Ms Spring said her colleagues “call me ‘subby’ because they’ve had so many substitutes they don’t even know your name”.Ms Spring expressed fears that students are not working hard enough and focusing on their futures adding that in her view, the problems stem from home.
