Four of the five Kelowna-Lake Country candidates have had their say Tuesday, in front of a Chamber of Commerce crowd.

The Chamber's noon-hour forum included New Democrat Tish Lake's call for more federal emphasis on health care, and Conservative Ron Cannan's appeal for voters to stick with his party on October 14th.

Liberal Diana Cabott says the Harper government has betrayed many small investors over income-trusts.

And Communist Mark Haley pitched what he calls a 'radical democracy'.

Green candidate Angela Reid sent regrets, as she's on business in England.

The forum, held at the Okanagan Golf Club in Quail Ridge, attracted about 80 people.
