I have just sent this letter to Avaaz.ca who have written — once again — urging the use of the site VoteForEnvironment.ca as a voting aid.

I am very impatient with you people — and I’m not the only one — with your continuing campaign for Elizabeth May in Central Nova.   

Elizabeth May never had a chance to beat Peter MacKay — and she’s still not going to.  The NDP, however, did have a chance but has had to fight, not just the usual opponents who were running but know-it-alls from all over the country who, somehow, seem to think that they have inside knowledge that the people in Central Nova don’t have. 

I guess it’s pretty late for me to be saying this but to Avaaz, VoteForEnvironment and all the other voting busybodies around the country — lay off.  Let the people of Central Nova spend these last hours before the election doing their own thinking — as they’ve always done. 

Peter MacKay is — without much doubt — going back to Ottawa.  If he exercises restraint on Tuesday evening, he may avoid saying thank you to Elizabeth May and her wrong-headed supporters far beyond the borders of Central Nova. 

Yours most sincerely etc. etc.
