The Editor,
The recent all candidates meeting, where some candidates were noticeable by their absence, could well be termed a bloody disgrace.
The two people parachuted into the Richmond Centre riding (the NDP and the Liberal) showed the amount of interest they have in Richmond by their behaviour.
"You peasants don't interest us, we have bigger and better folks to meet!"
It demonstrates that their main interest is in obtaining a seat in the legislature, and the perks that go along with it, not in any way wanting to hear from the people they will pretend to represent.
Well, buddies, one of you would have had my vote, but there is no way in Hades that I could, or would, vote for either one of you.
This is what happens when cynical party hacks decide to import candidates for one self-serving reason or another. They don't live here, and they evidently don't want to hear from the voters.
Let's return the favour, and let them both fade back into obscurity, where they belong.
