Meeting with Andrew Telegdi
I met with Andrew Telegdi yesterday, and the meeting was wholly different than the one I had with Cindy Jacobsen.
The meeting felt like a job interview, with Andrew giving me an overview of his exhaustive history as an MP for Kitchener-Waterloo. It was clear that he knows his way around the political world and that his focus & passion is for human rights and immigration issues. This, sadly, leaves me wondering how (if at all) he will be able to represent and speak on behalf of my concerns regarding environmental and cultural issues.
Yes, human rights are extremely important. And, yes, being focused is good. But I am concerned about other issues (whether they’re ones I or others are concerned about) not getting the attention they need.
Time for more thinking about what to do and not to do with my vote.
