South Surrey has just received its first batch of election propaganda, thinly disguised as a survey from the incumbent Member of Parliament, Russ Hiebert.  For the most part it is generic “aren’t the Conservatives great?” stuff, but Hiebert does make a small effort to distinguish himself from the larger party.

Firstly there is some custom text about his support for reforming the Senate: pretty uncontroversial really – is there anyone (besides the Senators in question) that thinks lifetime appointments are a good thing?

Secondly there is a bit on how Hiebert has been working on increasing border crossing throughput.  This strikes me as a risky thing to brag about, as anyone that has crossed at Peace Arch in the last 3 years or so will have pretty negative feelings about the apparently eternal construction going on there.
