Dear Demetrios:

Kudos to quatre incumbent candidates running for another term as Deputees (MPs) in Quebec for this election. Diagnosed with cancer just a few months or a few weeks before the election was called, they choose to fight on for the people. Sure they have to campaign in a reduced capacity or not at all to get their strength back. This will help them heal faster & thus be at full strength to fight for their constituents once they are sworn in again. Best of luck to Liberal Candidate Alexandre Mendes, Brossard-Saint-Lambert, Conservative Candidate Jacques Gourde, Levis-Lotbiniere, Conservative Candidate, Luc Berthold, Megantic-L'Erable-Lotbiniere, & Bloc Quebecois Candidate Rene Villemure, Trois-Rivieres. I wish them all a very speedy & strong recovery from this evil known as cancer! Having had minor bladder cancer issues myself & a bladder rebuild which necessitates in me having to use throw away catheters to urinate I've got extreme sympathy for these brave public servants!

Gordon Lightfoot,

Rory
