Dear Terry Lake,
I hope in some small way
this letter is actually read.
My name is Stephan Bloom
and I teach in the Kamloops School District (grade 5). I did not vote
for you although I would have if you had followed a different
political philosophy. I have played soccer against you, I have
coached your daughter, I have voted for you for Mayor. My daughter
has been friends and team mates with yours. I have a sense of your
values and family and they are very admirable. I have liked your
passion for everything you have done.
You must be finding the
way the provincial Liberals are running the province disheartening.
Are you really comfortable with democracy in B.C.?
Unions of workers and
their “rights” are painful, as a member, and as an employer (20
staff in my 2 businesses)! But they have moved us out of the time of
sweat shops and workers abuse. They have created a middle class
rather than working poor and the financially rich. There is still a
place for them. The gap between the rich and poor is increasing.
Child poverty is an indicator by itself.
I left my businesses for
altruistic reasons! I wanted to contribute! My businesses were not
contributors. I am proud to be a teacher, to be associated with
people that are working for the betterment of others and now fighting
for them.
It may be political
suicide for you to stand up and say something in caucus but I would
expect no less from someone like you.
Stephan Bloom
