LETTER: Looking for alternate federal perspective

Reader wants to know former Liberal MP Dan Ruimy's take on current Canadian politics

Dear Editor,

[Re: Politicians harsh on Trudeau, Jan. 10, The News] 

I noticed that a local politician that is one of Mr. Trudeau's biggest supporters was noticeably absent from the article.

Maple Ridge Mayor [Dan] Ruimy, as people will remember, was elected as the federal Liberal MP for Maple Ridge back in 2015, on the promises to solve issues such as homelessness, housing affordability, electoral reform, safer streets, among others.

As someone who was at the table in the beginning, it would be interesting to hear his comments/observations on the current state of affairs.

I expect comments from Mr. [Marc] Dalton to be negative, it would be interesting to hear from a supporter.

Dennis Kinsey, Maple Ridge
