An open letter sent to Gary Goodyear, MP for Cambridge, Ontario

I thought I'd make this an open letter to Mr. Goodyear, Member of Parliament for the City of Cambridge, Ontario. I'm hoping for a response from him and will certainly post his answer if/when I've received it. As you can read below, I'm fairly upset with the fact that our government has chosen to cancel parliament for three months.

If you'd like to send Mr. Goodyear a letter, you are welcome to do so through this website: Contact Gary.

One more point, I am a little bit dismayed about Mr. Goodyear's motto on his banner. I do hope that we can somehow bring leadership back to this country. I also hope for a better Canada. So far, I'm not predicting a good year for Cambridge or Canada.

Hello Mr. Goodyear, 

I'm writing in good faith, and hoping for a response from you. My previous letter went unanswered [sales tax on used merchandise 9/23/09]. 

At any rate, I'm writing today to show my displeasure about our federal government's choice to prorogue parliament.

I hope you have noticed the Facebook group called "Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament". It is quickly gaining support and its numbers have doubled in 24 hours (currently at 52,000 supporters). I am excited, but not surprised, by the overwhelming response of Canadians against prorogation. Members of this on-line group, and certainly other Canadians who can't access Facebook, are now speaking out proving that Canadians do care.

From the many statements I have read, it's clear that we need to settle our national issues democratically and openly. Parliament must be allowed to do its job.

Otherwise, I am forced to question the reality, and the efficacy, of our democracy. This country is being insulted on the international stage and now it has been crippled at home. Let's get down to work. You need to do the work that you were elected and are still being paid to do.

If you are interested in my vote next election, please respond to my request. Please avoid form letters; I find them insulting and easy to recognize.

Sincerely,

Wendy Hood-Morris, BA
