Il . v/I Grits lose They11 hang in The Canadian Champion, Finday -from ANAND on page 2 nuinbers rolled in and hopes taded fast, supporters used jokes and general good humour to ease the sting of decisive defeat. 'If you didn't win you can't corne in," quipped one pol taker to another at the door. Mr. Anand maintains that the Liberal's mandate to're-invest in education and health care was legitimate, but that tax cuts by the Tories - plus further ones promised under a second termn - were simply more appealing to Ontario as a whole. "Maybe it'll take tour more years for people to see what type of govemment this oeally is, that their policies aren't the right policies for this province," hie said. However, the local candidate seemed fairly optimistic and even a little confident that the Mike Harris govemment would be more prone to implemnenting some of the Grits' philosophies now than they were back in 1995. "Hopefully they'll move from the far right to the middle. I think we'll have a significant influence," suggested Mr. Anand. "We will be watching the Tories closely over the next four years and will continue working to get our message out." Neither Mr. Anand nor Mr. Gombocz could point 10 any one thing they would have done differently if given a second chance - reiterating that time was a major stumbling block to overcoming the Tory momentum. They mirrored these commenta when questioned about party leader Dalton McGuinty's campaign efforts. Mr. Anand wouldn't make any promises with regard 10, running again. By LISA TALLYN Special to The Champion It was a very close race for fourth place in the Halton id- ing between Green Party candi- date Bill Champ and Giuseppe Gori, representing .the Famnily Coalition Party (FCP) Thursday night. In the end Mr. Champ came out the winner. Mr. Champ, 27, of Georgetown finished the night with 805 votes while the FCP candidate Mr. Gori, 49, of Halton Hilîs fnished last with 795. Mr. Champ, who works as a computer consultant, was pleased with the results because they show hie is build- ing on the support hie received in the last federal election. He said the election gave hlm the opportumllty to IoLus on the need for electoral reform and the environment, and hie plans to be either a candidate or orga- nizer in the next election. WiIl Iikely run The FCP leader Mr. Gori said the fact the vote was polar- ized meant the third, fourth and fifth place parties didn't get much support. He said one of the reasons bis party didn't fare so well in this election was because they were flot as organized as some of the bigger parties in dealing with the redistribution of rid- ings. He said hie couldn't see why hie wouldn't run in the next provincial election.
