Editor:
I received a letter in the mail from the office of our MP, Cathy McLeod.
It was asking my opinion on the assisted-suicide issue.
Over the past 10 years, we have seen McLeod’s Conservative government add $160 billion to the federal debt, gut environment laws, mute environmental scientists, spend $500 million in taxpayer dollars on partisan ads, break election laws, spend tens of millions of dollars fighting Supreme Court of Canada when its ideologically driven legislation has been deemed unconstitutional, slash social and veterans’ programs, neuter the office of the chief electoral officer and use the Senate as a partisan fundraising arm of government.
Did McLeod once ask my opinion on any of these issues? No.
I think McLeod should walk outside her office, look up at the smoke-filled sky and reflect on the issues of the day, including global warming, drought, species extinction and a national debt of $600 billion.
She should then think of her grandchildren and mine and ask herself if blindly regurgitating the talking points of a prime minister whose primary goal is not to build a better, more socially, economically, and environmentally healthy country and world, but to win at all costs, will leave them with a better world?
