Letter to the Editor

I continue to hear from countless residents here in Kootenay-Columbia who have real worries and concerns for the future. Too many Canadians are losing hope. Justin Trudeau says, “we’re all in this together,” but the truth is Canada has never been more divided.

Conservatives led by Erin O’Toole are proud to fight for every single Canadian on a number of important issues.

For example, Canadians deserve better and faster access to COVID-19 testing options. Six months ago, Justin Trudeau promised this would be his top priority, but Canadians continue to line up hours for tests because Trudeau failed to deliver.

Canada is also facing a unity crisis. Conservatives value and respect all Canadians. Workers in our natural resource industries contribute to building roads and hospitals across the country, not just in the provinces where the resources are found. They need our support.

There is also a desperate need to provide practical help for small businesses, particularly family-owned businesses. Many are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, and there must be more direct support for them.

Finally, Conservatives will continue to support free and fair trade with countries who follow the rules. For far too long, Canada has paid a high price for trade with Communist China. We are a proud trading nation, but the one thing not for sale is our values.

Conservatives are working to restore hope for all Canadians and get our country back on track.

Rob Morrison,

Member of Parliament for Kootenay-Columbia
