Another dirty trick

Editor: What appeared in my mailbox and no doubt yours last Thursday is yet another dirty trick. What appears to be a Liberal Party of Canada ad on the back of a Conservative Party ad is in fact an attack on the Liberal candidate.

What appeared in my mailbox and no doubt yours last Thursday is yet another dirty trick.

What appears to be a Liberal Party of Canada ad on the back of a Conservative Party ad is in fact an attack on the Liberal candidate. The substance of the claim is that she is “just another career politician,” and has no position on local issues.

As a consistently re-elected mayor, she has a record of dealing with local issues. As a candidate for the federal Parliament, she and her party have clear positions on local issues like jobs, the economy and climate change. In contrast, Mr. Weston has once taken a position that differs from his Prime Minister’s. That was disrespectful to a visible minority no longer in his riding, on an issue already decided by the Supreme Court of Canada.

Disgraceful actions by you, John Weston.
