Upon reading a recent article on Conservative attack tactics, I would like to voice some concerns.
I do believe many good citizens in our community and other communities likewise hear a lot lately about bullying tactics and the harm they put on our society.
Also, many professional athletes and dignitaries come to our community and speak on this topic. It is and has been a very serious problem.
It really blows me away when politicians resort to these tactics in their mail-out attack ads. This to me sends out a terrible message to our children and shows the ignorance of politicians to the problems of bullying and their desire to pursue it and promote it.
According to the article, everything listed in an attack pamphlet from the federal Conservative government as Justin Trudeau’s past experience is all basic bullying content.
I personally take great offence to this as everyone has equal rights in our country to advance to be whatever you can be.
I understand Red Deer MP Dreeshen is an educated man but he seems to have an attitude that he and his colleagues are better than anyone else, and that is pretty sad.
I voted for Dreeshen but I can see now that was a mistake, because he does not have the credibility in my mind to be where he is at. I do not hear much from him either, but I hear the party cannot speak for their constituents unless their boss approves it.
I truly would think he would stand up for the concerns of his constituents, and stop this type of crap, rather than promote it because his boss likes this nonsense.
Bullying is active in schools, workplace and where our politicians do their work. It’s pretty sad.
I do think it is time people are taken for their merits and not their upbringing or past.
Equal opportunity for all, Dreeshen.
