In a letter published January 7, H.D.C. Andrus asks: What’s Pearson doing running for the Fiberals?
I don’t know, except that he is a candidate for a political party that believes in a united Canada and the Progressive Conservative option has been dissolved.
As a candidate for the former Progressive Conservative Party in 2000 and — after it was dissolved into the Reform/Alliance party–for the Progressive Canadian Party in 2004, it was an honour to offer a moderate, viable alternative to the government of the day.
Whether or not people voted for the PC party, they recognized it as a party that could form government and not destroy the country. This same confidence cannot be expressed about the “Alliance/Conservative” party.
I am proud to support Glen Pearson because he is the kind of person we need to send to Ottawa. He has a good reputation, he is a leader and he cares about people.
There is much at stake in this election. It is important that we elect good people to Parliament. Pearson is such a person.
