Dear Mr. Alex Ruff

I saw your endorsement of the new Conservative leader today, Erin O'Toole.

We are addressing several crises in Canada at the moment. We have the pandemic crisis, the climate crisis, a crisis of systemic racism and a crisis of a looming recession.

In addition, we have a housing crisis for the young people in our country.

Your leader was also silent when a fellow candidate accused our most senior medical practitioner of "working for the Chinese" - we assume because she was of Chinese descent. Is this something that all first and second generation Canadians can expect from your leader? Is this something that you approve of when congratulating him?

How does your leader address these issues with his slogan, "Take Canada Back"? Who or what is he taking it back from?
