Quick reply of my own, in the #olpldr debate. I believe all candidates want to create opportunities for families to better themselves. But when you haven't done it personally - when it was your parents who toiled and sacrificed - it's easy to miss how hard it is. #onpoli 1/3
My support for @coteau is based in large part on his personal achievements. There is a difference between saying "my parents did X so I could be here" and knowing what he achieved in his own lifetime. Because when it wasn't you personally, it looks too easy. #onpoli #olpldr 2/3
I have considerable privilege myself. I come from working class, no money, no history of post-secondary. Still, I'm male, white, etc. We need to be honest with each other and ourselves. Privilege matters, even in this #olpldr contest. It's a lie to pretend otherwise. #onpoli 3/3
