No telephone calls only writing!

Good Day Readers:

CyberSmokeBlog received the following bilingual auto-response from it's Member of Parliament. Anyone can send these but will there be any meaningful follow up? Besides, having a healthy disrespect for politicians of all stripes (code for do not trust) CSB doesn't do telephone calls with them because there's no paper trail. In light of the Mike Duffy fiasco can you blame it?

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
