WINNIPEG, MB — October 21, 2026, In response to CBC’s decision to exclude key mayoral candidates from tonight’s debate based on a single month-old poll question, candidate Don Woodstock has announced he will host an immediate, live-streamed town hall. Broadcasting uninterrupted and commercial-free on Facebook starting tonight at 6:00 p.m., Woodstock will directly answer the exact questions being posed to participants in the CBC debate, while addressing the pressing community concerns the network chose to ignore.
CBC’s format selection relied strictly on a past polling question (“Who would you vote for now?”), deliberately omitting key issues that Winnipeggers consistently rank as top priorities, including transit safety, public security, environmental policy, community pools, and recreational facilities. Woodstock’s platform and recent issue-based polling demonstrate strong public alignment with his vision, positioning him as a clear frontrunner on these critical topics.
Furthermore, CBC’s decision stands in stark contrast to previous debates throughout the campaign, such as last night’s live televised debate hosted by First Nation Leadership, which proudly included all candidates. By arbitrarily limiting participation, CBC has deliberately silenced minority representation and presented a narrow platform that fails to reflect the true diversity and voice of Winnipeg.
“Winnipeggers deserve full transparency and a complete, unfiltered debate on the issues that actually impact their daily lives,” said Woodstock. “When media outlets choose to censor candidates and marginalize minority voices, the public loses. Tonight, we are opening the floor directly to the people.”
