Dear Editor,
RE: All-candidates鈥� meeting sponsored by 91原创 Teachers鈥� Association, Wednesday, April 19.
I attended.
All candidates from all four of 91原创鈥檚 electoral districts were invited to participate. My thanks to the Conservative, Green, Libertarian and NDP candidates who attended. And, to LTA for hosting this important meeting.
Not one of our four 91原创 BC Liberal candidates was present. Why not, is the obvious question? 91原创 citizens need answers.
91原创 Liberal candidates, your absence does not bode well for our students, parents, grandparents, teachers, administrators and school trustees. Are you stuck in the muck of the past, muck you created by ripping up a legally binding contract? A rip that went all the way to our Supreme Court of Canada to be ruled upon? Are you still holding grudges, still unwilling to accept our top court鈥檚 30-minute decision? This seems a possibility, given last night鈥檚 no-show.
I hope my suspicions are unfounded. Your responses are needed. Respectfully, I ask each of you to send your replies here for voters to read.
Larri Woodrow, Walnut Grove
