Dear Editor,
Re: “Liberal candidate Peschisolido responds to ongoing litigation,” News, Oct. 9.
I have read the latest article about Mr. Joe Peschisolido’s ongoing court trials and I heard him speaking to the students at MacNeill secondary school last week.
All I have to say is, “charlatan!”
Mr. Peschisolido, how can you tell young people that you are against the unpaid internship programs, because it is an usury practice done by employers to capitalize from unpaid work, while you, as an employer, allegedly failed to pay your own employee?
This particular trial is not about an unpaid internship position, but a legitimate contract between employer and employee which, according to the employee, you failed to fulfil.
The employee claims she told Mr. Peschisolido that she was not receiving money from the client for the work she was doing, but the problem was not addressed.
As far as I’m concerned, Mr. Peschisolido, I remember your past actions as an MP, I listened to you and I “red light” you because your past and alleged present actions speak louder than your rhetoric.
I don’t trust you to represent me in Ottawa.

(Editor’s note: Joe Peschisolido is being sued in civil court by a former employee, but the case is ongoing and no charges have been proven.)
