@coreyhoganyyc To serve your constituents, you need to answer their questions. Emailed you multiple times, no response... I live in your riding. If you engaged and responded to your constituents, you could say you were representing them. We might never agree but I would respect you for engaging
@MarcMillerVM You didn't tell us where you were going to be. How inconsiderate of you to not warn everyone where the most annoying person would be... I hope the people who had to suffer through your presence are OK.
@coreyhoganyyc@coreyhoganyyc are you intellectually dishonest to paint a false narrative or unable to analyze overall data? Personally, I do not believe that you lack the intelligence to analyze data... How are we ever going to improve the situation for Canadians without an honest assessment.
@coreyhoganyyc I am wondering how long it takes your team to respond to emails. I know it is a busy time as parliament has returned. I am honestly curious.
