LETTER: Langley resident points to double standard of politicians caught travelling abroad

The rules for politicians should be the same as for average Canadians

Dear Editor,

Alberta Municipal Affairs Minister Tracy Allard went to Hawaii on vacation after her government imposed a strict lockdown on Albertans. Premier Jason Kenney must fire Tracy Allard. Saskatchewan’s Minister of Highways Joe Hargrave took a secret vacation to Palm Springs after his government imposed a strict lockdown on Saskatchewan. Premier Scott Moe must fire Joe Hargrave.

• WEB POLL: Should vacationing politicians resign from office?

There seems to be one rule for the people and one rule for the government.

Travel is legal. But for people enforcing a lockdown to evade it, is unethical.

Dean Clark, Langley
