I recently received an advertisement from the Harper candidate who wants to replace B.C. Southern Interior NDP MP Alex Atamenenko as our voice in Ottawa.
The ad betrays an alarming lack of perspective and judgment when he accuses Alex Atamanenko of being all talk and no action. Anyone but the most biased who has been awake for the past half decade has to agree that Alex is one of the hardest working people in the communities of our region.
There is much to be done and the work is made more difficult when the Harper Government has proven itself to be so out of touch with the problems and issues of our communities.
I am happy that Alex has been my representative in Ottawa. He is a man of action whose energy is only exceeded by his integrity.
