To the Editor:
(Open letter to Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks)
Your party has milked their majority and now has embarked on a determined venture to strikingly erase democratic rights in Canada by:
•creating omnibus bills so that there is inadequate time to properly examine them, not just by my representative in the Canadian House of Commons, but little time for me as a citizen to review them myself, so I can direct my representative as to my wishes. This is deliberate;
•skipping over hard-won environmental concerns in favour of furthering the goals of Conservative campaign contributors, particularly those in the resource extraction industry;
•engaging in international trade deals that threaten Canadian autonomy over our own resources and which I believe are worldwide in appearance so as to distract from the true purpose which is to cause Canada to eventually become the newest acquisition for the United States of America;
•using the ruse of a “fairer” elections act to restrict the autonomy of Elections Canada and to make it more difficult for those voters who aren’t likely to vote Conservative in the next election; and
•allowing for the implementation of two-tiered health care in our country while we are used as an example for our neighbours to the south as being a country with a national healthcare system available and readily accessible to all.
May I say, I am hoping you will respond to this letter in a personal manner because although, as you can see, I am not a Conservative, I feel I deserve consideration as a person.
