The biggest issue in this riding is to either vote for a well-known conservative politician who represents a PM who devalues vets,seniors, scientists, environmentalists, and public servants.etc…..the list goes on. Factor in the Senate scandal and our now involvement in a war without end…..or simply cast a vote for Anybody But Harper. I’m sure Mr. Shipley is a great guy……but I’m sure Stevie would throw him under the bus if he could garner a vote.
