The Editor,
Re. “Social media poisoning politics, Port Coquitlam mayor laments” (tricitynews.com, Sept. 14).
From the referenced story: “Moore, who won’t seek re-election in November, said platforms such as Twitter and Facebook can be a successful communication tool for politicians connecting with their electorates.”
Yes, this is a great tool, but if you actually asked Mayor Moor a question and he didn’t like it, he would not answer, or just simply block you. He did it to me and he did it to many others.
Ask him a touchy question and he gives speaking points.
Try to debate him and it his view that will win over — you are not going to change his mind.
Is it ethically, even morally correct to give yourself a raise and vote on it yourself?
How many members of the public get to vote on their own raise?
Good riddance.
