Your twitter account is full of examples... where do you want him to start? You're definitely partisan, it's not even a question. What's more worrisome is that you don't recognize it. Stalking me on Twitter! Wow! :-)
Partisan? Yes - in that I want competency, accountability, and forward and progressive thinking and actions on our most existential challenges such as climate change and the huge challenges we face with healthcare in Canada. There is a healthcare and elder care cost tsunami that is lurking around the corner and down the road by about 15 years that NO ONE of any political stripe, is talking about right now. NO ONE! Not even the Liberals - that, I know you want to lump me in with!!
I regularly reach out about all of this, as well as promotions for active lifestyles and lives, to ALL of my key political representatives at the municipal level, provincial and the federal. And here's who I hear back from - the Mayor of the city where I live, and my Federal Liberal MP. I have written THE SAME letters to my Conservative Provincial MPP, but she's never, ever written me back, and never even acknowledges receipt of those eMails!
We are hoping to and planning to have a new 50m pool built in our community. We have hade great buy-in from private and public stakeholders. We invited to a Meeting - the Local Provincial Conservative MPP, the Mayor of our city, our local Liberal Federal MP, and the Liberal Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Sport and the Minister of Health. We never heard back from the Conservative MPP (from the Doug Ford Gov't). Just ignored us. Everyone else got together and we had a very progressive meeting. If we never hear back from the Conservatives . . what does that mean? We have no idea! It's OK, we feel we have enough buy-in, and support that we can move forward without them. Partisan - sure - but we put the same offer to get involved, to everyone across all party lines, and you can choose to get involved and help out . . or not!
