Letter-writer Fraser Crinklaw asks why programs are being cut to our most vulnerable citizens.

I would put it to Mr. Crinklaw that such programs are cut in part because the vulnerable people in question are unlikely to vote, and with recent (un)fair elections legislation, it is even more unlikely.

Indeed, do write to MP Russ Hiebert, but remember who makes all the decisions in the ‘party of one.’

Don’t forget to cc the opposition parties, too.
