Selina Robinson is the MLA for Coquitlam–Maillardville.

The Editor:

As someone who has been a union member and NDP supporter for 40 years, as well as a committee volunteer for NDP candidates in the past, I am taken aback that Selina Robinson has used her high-profile government position to make the vitriolic, hurtful and — dare I say — harmful comments that she has so forcefully espoused.

This is not my NDP.

Should she eventually decide to actually run in the next election, then decades of my active support for the party are out the window.
