There’s a steadfast rule against using family to go after a politician but that also means it is off-side for their family to use this privileged protection as a platform to do the same.
This is an email sent from John Cummins’ daughter Carolyn to the BC Conservative’s vice president Ben Besler:

Ben,
It has been an honor to view your humble opinion regarded the membership votes. I must say your tone sure has changed since I sat with you at the christmas party last year.
A year ago you came across as young, inexperienced, and incompetent. I now know my theory to be accurate.
I vote YES to you getting the boot from your position. You speak of respect, now respect your fellow conservative members loyalty to their party. Your “valued” opinion (although entitled) is meaningless and frankly unwarranted, now wanted. You do not speak for all. You speak for yourself and for the even more idiotic john Crocock.
Further please refrain from making such rash comments online. You sound like an imbecile. And make a fool of yourself.
Regards,
Carolyn Cummins
It’s completely inappropriate and viciously low for Cummins’ immediate family to personally assault BC Conservative members using words like “imbecile” especially one who is “the activist parent of an autistic child in the public school system” (see here)
Also: See earlier post on Cummins comparing himself to Jesus Christ here

Amateur hour.
This confirms it – I’ll be staying home this election. I live in New Westminster and I don’t see the NDP losing this seat under any circumstance. The best bet for BC is for John and Christy to stick around and lead their respective parties to a sure electoral defeat. A new single party can be created from the ruins.

What’s the big deal? Unless she copied the media on this email, it was just a daughter venting to an individual, who in her mind, was “slagging: her father. If Ben decided to share, then he’s just looking to score cheap “polipoints”. Tough being a provincial Tory in Lotus Land!

How do you know who she sent that email to? And FYI, we don’t call ourselves “Tories” here in BC

[...] were Cummins comparing himself to Jesus Christ (see here), his daughter’s vicious email (see here) and the mockery given from the media over the very lame Friends of John Cummins campaign (see [...]
