Reading Nigel Kean\u2019s perspective to Costas Menegakis\u2019 letter, one somewhat gets the feeling Mr. Kean will not be voting Conservative. However, I submit a degree of decorum is required in expressing one\u2019s opinion.
\nCalling the Prime Minister of Canada \u201cStevie\u201d is a violation of respectability.
\nThat, along with statements such as \u201cthe list goes on and on\u201d, without providing details, totally demolishes the intended effect of his expressions.
\nLast Wednesday, I happened to accidentally meet up for the first time with Mr. Menegakis at the entrance door of the Aurora Seniors\u2019 Centre, surrounded by a group of veterans, members of various Legions. He exchanged with me his views on also representing Aurora.
\nHe made a dignified impression.
\nI have no hesitation in expecting that Aurora will be well served by his continued representation in Parliament.
\nPeople hoping for a change in government, I can predict that not much will change for them, other than an increase in taxes. A government change-over is going to cost millions and millions of dollars and, remember, those lofty, vote getting election promises are all going to come out of your pocket.<\/p>\n
