Barbs & Jabs: It seemed like a simple question

Extra. Extra. Read all about it.
Aurora resident Kam Sadiq is not only not running for the provincial Liberals in the fall election, he's not running in Newmarket-Aurora.
In case you're wondering, neither am I.
Kam might, however, run for some other political party and he might run somewhere other than in his home riding.
Acting on direction from an editor, I called Kam, introduced myself and, in my very best voice, asked if he was seeking the Liberal nomination in Newmarket-Aurora.
Here's the rationale behind calling Kam - In readiness for the Oct. 4 election, the local Conservatives have MPP Frank Klees in place, nobody much cares about the New Democrats in York Region and it was a slow news day. I agreed to attempt to justify Friday's paycheque and pin down some local news.
Kam was not happy with my call.
"Why are you calling me and who told you to call me?," he asked.
Still using my very best voice, I did the big explain once more.
Kam then embarked on an interesting story. Apparently, I was invited to some event at his house on Dec. 21, but failed to attend.
I had no idea what he was referring to so I simply asked what the event was about.
Kam didn't hesitate to tell me where to go:
If I wanted to know the details of the event, I could read about it in another newspaper, he said.
Ignoring the suggestion, complete with the sarcasim, I asked who attended the event.
"The mayor and a few councillors and some other people," Kam answered.
So here's what I had:
Some event I failed to attend was held four days before Christmas in a private home in Aurora. Hosted by a guy who doesn't like the Liberals and who might or might try to be elected as an MPP somewhere other than Newmarket-Aurora. It attracted some mayor, a few councillors and some mysterious others.
After a little more prodding, Kam reluctantly told me John Tory came to the event.
When some guy scores a big fish like the leader of the provincial Conservatives, I gotta know more.
"Since John Tory came to your house, does this mean you're interested in running for the Conservatives in the October election?" I asked in my very best voice.
Here's Kam's answer.
"I didn't make any announcements at the event. I will make an announcement when I'm ready."
It didn't take me long to get the take-a-hike message.
I don't know why Kam doesn't like me.
During the interview, I was careful to always use my very best voice. Besides, I'm a nice lady. And, since nobody else is paying my way in life, I need a job. I'm aware that I'm free to quit a 30-year media career and leave Kam alone. There are stumbling blocks: I don't know how to juggle or play the banjo and, let's face it: I'm too old, too tired and too picky to become a lady of the night.
Kam, Suggesting you might run for the Liberals in Newmarket-Aurora isn't off base. You live in the local riding; the Liberal Party of Ontario is a legally registered political party and the last time I did a government check, the Grits were in power. And, Kam, you did run on a Liberal ticket in a previous election.
Actually, Kam has a history as a political candidate on two fronts: Not only was he a defeated Liberal in a Toronto riding in the 1995 provincial election, he failed to get elected to Aurora council in November.
Still, Kam came to the provincial and municipal races with credibility: in his 60s, he's a retired accountant after working many years for Revenue Canada. A community minded individual, Kam founded the Multicultural Society of Pakistanian Canadians 24 years ago.
This is a puzzle. If anyone knows why Kam doesn't like me and/or the Liberals, share it with us through this blog.
