Sometimes, ya gotta ask questions....Literally!

Your Hon. Anne McLellan,

Just an inquiry on the position that our federal government is taking in regards to the recent kidnapping situation in Iraq. I'm sure the volunteers were taken off guard by the current violence in the country, and I'm aware the Canadian Government has issued a travel advisory to Iraq. Sometimes it's very hard to hear about all the violence in the world news regarding poor Iraq, and for some people, they would like to think that they can make a difference. If possible, let's create a dialog with the U.S. administration to get involved with the cleanup of Iraq if the elections go well next month. Until an agreement is reached, I wish for Canada to keep issuing travel advisories to the greater Canadian public. Some risks should be taken with the added benefit of keeping Canadians safe at all times.

I realize that same-sex marriage has become an issue to the glorious far right in Canada. As a personal advocate of equal rights for gays, I cannot vote for a party that would like to undo our great fabric of civil society by excluding a minority. I hope that the Liberal party platform continues it's progressive human rights policies and fiscal responsibility. Thanks for all your hard work.
