The Editor,
Speaking as a 30year Richmond resident and loyal federal Conservative voter, I am very dismayed over MP Alice Wong's public spectacle of eating a bowl of shark fin soup.
Shame on her for actually eating the controversial soup, and for Asian media only.
Perhaps she'd like to consume some Rhinoceros horn as well; I recently read they are being poached to extinction in Africa because some people believe the false claim that Rhino horn cures cancer.
I stand with the majority of Canadians who demand the end of shark-finning and shark fin soup consumption.
I also believe it is time for the Richmond federal Conservatives to look for a new local candidate because Wong has forever lost my vote, as well as many others I have spoken to.
