Dear Mr. Lukiwski, MP:
 
In preface: I am three weeks away from being 72 years of age, my wife, Heather is a few years younger. I have voted Progressive Conservative my entire voting life, except for once when I voted Social Credit, and once when Heather and I were missionaries in East Africa and found we were unable to vote.
 
We find that we can no longer vote PC, for the following reasons:
 
  • your party is no longer a right of centre party. You have moved left to join the Liberals and the NDP. In fact, the only difference between today’s PCs, Liberals and the NDP is the name on the party stationery, and the name of the party leader. Other than that — no difference.
  • your party has discarded the morés, feelings, thinking of Western Canada (Saskatchewan and Alberta) in order to fit in with Ontario and Quebec. They are out to destroy our economy and your party is tripping over its feet to fall in line.
  • your party has thrown away all ethics, morals and traditional values. E.g. your leader, Mr. O’Toole, has thrown his weight behind gender specific abortion — which means, that in some cultures, males babies are valued above female babies. Therefore, abort female babies. But O’Toole is too stupid to see that. And if you don’t stand up to him on this issue, that makes you no better than he is.
  • I respected Andrew Scheer. He had morals and ethics and he stood up for them. O’Toole has neither. Maybe you don’t know this, but in the last general election, the PCs outscored the Liberals. I think Mr. Scheer garnered about 35% of the popular vote, to Trudeau’s 30%. But due to the imbalance in the way ridings are dealt with by Elections Canada, the PCs lost the election. Totally unfair. General elections favour Ontario and Quebec, and totally ignore Western Canada.
  • Mr. O’Toole, within a couple of days of winning the PC leadership, came out in favour of abortion and the LGB agenda. And now in the last couple of weeks he has come out in favour of gender specific abortion — meaning he favours the abortion of little girls. He’s supposed to be a feminist – yeah, big joke.
  • O’Toole had previously promised to do away with the Carbon Tax if elected. Yeah, right. Now he’s jumped on the Liberal bandwagon. He’s in favour of the tax. Hey — no big deal. He’s a politician right. That means his word cannot be trusted.
  • One last thing. I was taught MANY years ago in elementary school, that Canada was a Representative Democracy. That means, Members of Parliament are there to represent the interests and ideas of their constituents, and the wants and wishes of the party come somewhere down the line. However, that is not what we have in Canada. In Canada we have a tyranny of the party. Whichever party gets elected immediately forgets who their electors are, and promptly goes its own way. Right now, we have a dictatorship, with Justin Trudeau as the dictator. You guys are not helping the issue. Sure, you can blame it all on Covid, but that’s a cop-out.
  • We had respect for Andrew Scheer. Unfortunately, due to the actions of your leader, we have none for him.

 
So, Mr. Lukiwski, my wife and I are considering joining the Buffalo Party. Even if we don’t actually become members, we will certainly vote for them. You didn’t lose our votes — you threw them away, through your arrogance and uncaringness.
