Open letter to Alice Wong, Re: Annual community barbecue: I had to decline your invitation to have lunch Saturday, Aug. 24.
I couldn't possibly sit down to lunch with an MP who, in my view, has shown such poor judgement in the recent past.
You approvingly consumed a bowl of very exspensive and rightly controversial "shark fin soup," probably gratis, while a hastily convened group of Asianonly press looked on.
I don't believe that kind of behaviour is representative of Canadian values.
It is more reflective of those that choose to support or be part of the illegal trade in elephant tusks, rhino horns, bear paws and gall bladders.
Thanks Alice, but no thanks.
