Dear Mr. Chief:
With the federal by-election campaign entering the home stretch, I am appealing directly to you and your party to stop the dirty tricks and clean up your campaign.
Critiquing the policies of other candidates is fair game, but I’m disappointed that you have sunk to misleading and personal attacks.
With only a few days left in this election, your campaign has distributed official literature that mentions nothing about the issues in Winnipeg North, but instead attacks the Leader of Liberal Party – a man who has visited Winnipeg North four times since July, participated in two town
halls and understands the needs of our community.
Before the election, you sent out literature which gave the false impression that former Liberal MP Lloyd Axworthy endorsed you.
My eighteen years in politics have taught me that Winnipeggers don’t appreciate dirty tricks. They want an honest representative with a record of community-based solutions who can deliver results.
I stuck to the issues when I said that the NDP did nothing to stop the closure of two community police offices in Winnipeg North. Our community now has a growing crime problem, which is why I’ll fight to bring back those police offices, establish a dedicated youth justice committee, and create a citizen’s group to develop community-based solutions.
Here’s something that’s not true: there’s no threat of an immigration cap of 5,000 a year to the Provincial Nominee program, and you should stop upsetting members of our community by claiming otherwise.
Voters would be justified to wonder what these tactics by your campaign says about your character.
With only days left in the campaign, it’s not too late for you to clean up your act.
Sincerely,
Kevin Lamoureux
