Letter: Platforms, not family members, key to election success

Dear Editor, Re: “Family MPs are secret to success,” Letters, Aug. 26. A letter writer suggests we vote for family-oriented Conservative MPs. If the leaders are anything to go by, then I would suggest voting for the NDP or the Liberals.

Dear Editor,

Re: “Family MPs are secret to success,” Letters, Aug. 26.

A letter writer suggests we vote for family-oriented Conservative MPs.

If the leaders are anything to go by, then I would suggest voting for the NDP or the Liberals. Justin Trudeau has three children, compared to the Prime Minister’s two. Thomas Mulcair has two children, the same as the Prime Minister, but he also has two grandchildren. And he has nine siblings.

Better yet, just vote according to the candidates’ platforms and not whether they are family-oriented, which we all know is a code word.
