Jim Hillyer - Lethbridge CPC Candidate Declines Questions from Constituent

Frustrated by my inability to ask Lethbridge Federal Election Conservative candidate Jim Hillyer a question, or receive a response via phone or email, I spent over an hour searching, and finally tracked Jim down to ask him my questions in person. He declined to speak with me.

Why wouldn't you just ask the question anyways?

[rodleland]

@PKJohnstonMH I just assumed it would be best to have his cooperation. I wanted to ask some pretty in-depth questions.

Even if he had said "Sure, but please put down the camera first. Then we can talk", that would have been acceptable, tactful. It's fair if you don't want to be ambushed by a guy with a camera. However, outright refusing to answer any legitimate questions for pretty much your whole campaign is unacceptable. He's most certainly going to care about his constituents if he's elected right? He listens to them so much right now while he's still trying to win their votes...

Probably would have been quicker for him to just let you ask the questions, he certainly would have looked like less of a tool.

@popcan4u totally! he just knows he's getting elected because it's so largely conservative around here...people really need to check out the candidate, not just the party. we don't need dumbasses in office

[exohexLexaexohex]

baahahahaha he's a tool. so sad he got elected...

you however, are my hero

@gabewithafender Much more well educated? Boy, you sure showed me.

You could have one of the Teletubbies running in the Lethbridge riding, and as long as it is Conservative and Mormon, it would get elected by a landslide. Unfortunately Jim Hillyer fits the bill, but is even less capable as a politician.

[popcan4u]

This guy is as close to a half dead try as any human can get. He's only being like this because he knows he can get elected with as little effort as possible. This guy is a complete disgrace. But ultimately it's the people to blame. They live in a democracy and choose to elect idiots. Elected officials are a reflection of people and they certainly elected a fellow dipshit.

[LolipopRok]

haha if hes campaining why wont he answer any questions?!! thats what their suppost to do when they r campaining!!!!!

[Android624]

People are actually angry that he did not answer questions?Quite obviously a set up.The guy is not stupid.Your biggest mistake was assuming he was....lol.

[KeenProductions]

Disgusts me that he won.

[acronus]

Lethbridge for the most part has been a strong conservative riding since the mid 1950's. Hillyer know that all he has to do is sit back, do bugger all, and still probably win.

[grizzerzizz]

wow what a jerk he would get more votes if he answered these simple questions... im not voting for conservitive just because of this guy >_>
