In our democracy we must accept the will of the majority. So it was when Kellie Leitch was elected in our constituency.
Dr. Leitch: A Minister for the Status of Women who voted against abortion choice, an MP who voted for the export of asbestos to other countries, and an MP who wanted to open up a snitch line against barbaric practices in her Collingwood office is definitely not an individual who represents our values, nor those of many of her constituents.
Now she is vying for the Conservative Party leadership, strategically making herself conspicuous in an intolerant Trumpian fashion by espousing that immigrants be vetted to assure they possess “Canadian values”.
Canadian values are enshrined in our Charter of Rights, which all citizens are expected to follow.
Do we really need further clarification? Or do Dr. Leitch and her Machiavellian strategist (Nick Kouvalis) think that this path will lead to winning, bringing out the worst in our society?
