MPs should listen to constituents

To the Editor,

Re: Lunney calls for review of coastal cuts, June 19.

It was amusing to watch Nanaimo-Alberni MP James Lunney crying crocodile tears over the coast guard closures that resulted from Bill C-38 – a bill he just voted in favour of.

He seems to have gotten his priorities wrong.

An MP should always put the interests of his constituents first, not just toe the party line.

If MPs just put the interest of their parties first, why bother having them around?
