Editor:
I was very disappointed today (March 30) when I read the paper and there was no schedule of community meetings with MP John Weston to determine whether our representative should support the Harper budget.
This budget contains so many items not mentioned in the last campaign by John it would seem realistic he would seek to determine whether it is actually supported by the people in his riding. For example, do his constituents agree on the gutting of environmental protection? Do they agree on worsening seniors' poverty and youth unemployment through raising the age of retirement?Are we willing to cut funding from Elections Canada as they probe the deceit employed in the last election? I could go on.
C'mon MP Weston, get home and arrange to meet the people. Once done, you can decide whether to vote in favour of this budget.
