Dear Editor:
Before any Canadian places an “X” beside any Liberal candidate, please bear in mind the leader of that party. Other than furthering this man’s superego, there is no need for this half-billion-dollar boondoggle.
Canada’s parliament was working efficiently to tackle the COVID-19 crisis, with many bills passed, even in a minority setting.
In the past year, beyond COVID, Canada has had to deal with a wildfire catastrophe, the residential school discoveries, rampant corruption in the echelons of the military, a housing crisis, a climate crisis, continued inaction for Indigenous communities, and now, internationally, total incompetence in fulfilling promises made to allies in our struggle in Afghanistan.
So now, after all these ongoing events, the most egocentric prime minister Canada has ever known, decides to call his personal election. Of course, he will take his usual tact and attempt to bribe specific genres of voters. He will be front and centre in view of the cameras expounding how hard his government is working on various issues and of course, give out his list of “if elected” bribes and promises.
We have heard all of this before, and forgetting the “WE” controversy, the “SNC Lavalin” controversy, his outright lies concerning Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott, his insults to Canadians of colour, and his failure to fulfill previous promises, he is still asking for our vote.
Given his previous ineptitude and current disregard for contemporary issues, it is unconscionable to vote for any Liberal candidate so that this man can enjoy the honour of Canada’s highest office!
