To close her campaign, model-putrid held a final event in Kawartha Lakes, answering questions from voters. Some of these questions are shown below, with model-putrid's answers attached.

Out of all the issues, is drink-driving really the most important?

"Well, it's an issue that all the other candidates and parties have been silent on. There are many important issues that Ontario faces, but the reason I put my hand up to stand in this by-election is because I believe it is unjust that there are Ontarians being persecuted simply for their own personal choices. If you want to drink and drive, who is the government to say that it's not good for you? What's next, is the government going to ban fast food while driving because they think it's unhealthy? It's complete authoritarian nonsense, and we need someone in Queen's Park willing to call it out."

Do you really think you have a chance to win this by-election?

"Well, nothing's impossible, but I don't think it's particularly likely. But that's not the main goal of my campaign, in my view. In just a few days, we've gone from nothing to a recent poll showing almost 11% for my independent campaign. That's astonishing, and it shows people are listening to my message of driving freedom and that it resonates. And I know a lot about resonance, my friends. If we can send a message to the political establishment in this by-election, then it won't matter if we win or if we lose."

Isn't drink-driving less safe than driving unimpaired?

"Well, certainly, there are some studies that suggest that drink-drivers have a slightly higher rate of being involved in motoring accidents than sober drivers, which is unfortunate. But it's unfair to blame every drink-driver for all road accidents, especially given there are many who simply wish to drink responsibly, and indeed, drink-driving may help some people improve their judgement while driving. At the end of the day, the overwhelming majority of road accidents don't involve alcohol, and I don't see anyone proposing that we mandate a quick drink before the road. Why is it that a minority of accidents should determine the fate of responsible, law-abiding drink-drivers?"

If you're elected, which party will you work with?

"I'd take it on a case-by-case basis, I think. If there were to be a hung parliament and I was the deciding vote, I would use my leverage to try and push for driving freedom policies, and whichever party was willing to do the most in that regard would get my support, but aside from that, I think I would judge each bill and each action a government takes on how pro-freedom it is."

Do you have any other policies or key beliefs aside from your driving freedom beliefs?

"Well, yes, I have a number of views and principles that would guide my votes as an MPP, but I think at the end of the day, as I said, my main judgement criteria would be how pro-freedom a bill is. If it is seeking to add new regulations or restrictions I would ask, are these necessary? Will they be an unnecessary barrier for people? At the end of the day, my guiding belief is that you should be able to do whatever the hell you want with your life and your body so long as you're not seeking to harm others. So in that regard, yes, I am pro-driving freedom, but I'm also pro-abortion, pro-cannabis, and pro-keeping the government the hell out of law-abiding individuals' lives."
