Dear Rachel,
I don't know who prepares your mailers, but he/she let you down.
You know Prime Minister Trudeau isn't responsible for housing or rental costs.
Yes, those are appalling costs for many people, but certainly not most. And if any government is at fault, that would be the various provincial governments, in whose bailiwick housing falls.
Of course you already know that too.
And you also know that our provincial government is very committed to dealing with this issue. It is not responsible for the problems either, and regularly confers with the federal government, seeking assistance for provincial initiatives dealing with housing costs and availability.
The mailer issued under your name isn't helping.
At the moment, the only thing that endears me to our federal party (which appears so desperate to distance itself from the government that it distorts important issues) is that it's helping what is essentially the second-best federal government I've seen in my lifetime pass some very socially-responsible legislation.
Of course I have no problem with you; you've been a good MP. Except that your caucus keeps dropping these clunkers on us: it's become a regular topic of conversation when we older NDPers get together.
