Dear Editor:
It is disheartening to see how really out of touch our politicians have become.
We all have pandemic overload and fatigue, all of us.
The audacity of so many politicians of every stripe and party whether federal or provincial, it really doesn’t matter any more.
St.Barts, Hawaii, Mexico … on and on it goes (and they go ).
No party is without smear.
None is better than the other.
Wake up people !
I really believe that the only way to end this baloney is out and out firings and monetary penalties. Money talks in every language & party. Period.
Enough of the banal, hollow apologies. Keep them.
The only thing ANY politician is sorry of is being caught. Seriously? Who believes any of the crocodile tears anymore ?
Although, it has worked very well for our supreme leader (Prime Minister) Justin (Trudeau). He always seems to be given a pass. So, who are we to expect better from the rest of them?
What is good for the gander is good for all the geese, no?
This is just all too much.
What is next ?
I can hardly wait for the next faux pas.
We really do need, as Canadians, to up our expectations, to demand more of the people that we elect.
Here is a thought, “transparency.”
Some say, they, the politicians, need to be held to higher standards than the ordinary folk.
I for one would be pleased if they were just held to the same standards as the rest of us.
Delsie Drover,
