MP asked if spill response was world class

Editor: The recent toxic bunker fuel spill in English Bay should be the final straw for our federal Conservatives, at least in B.C. Industry Minister James Moore tries to tell us the response was "world class." Third World, maybe.

Well, I decided to ask, via e-mail, our MP, Kerry-Lynne Findlay, if she felt the response to the spill was world class. I kindly asked her if she will support the NDP's motion to re-open the Kitsilano Coast Guard station and properly support the busiest station in Canada. I'm sure most, if not all, of her constituents would be in favour of such.

As per usual, I have yet to receive a response. Heck I'm still waiting for a response to all four emails I have sent her since December 2013 regarding numerous issues.

As minister of national revenue, I understand Findlay is a busy lady, as one only has to look at the war she has engaged in against environmental charities.

I'm sure the Canada Revenue Agency has better things to do than audit a 300-member bird-watching club, no?

Findlay, you have forgotten who you work for. You work for the people of your riding, not Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his reckless agenda. Your disrespect towards your constituents has proven you are not up to the task of representing us.

I look forward to the next election.
