Letter: Time for system to evolve

By David L. Watson, VANCOUVER
Published: May 19, 2017, 6:00am

In his May 15 letter, “100-day benchmark outdated,” Robert Kerr points out that the 100-day benchmark should not be used as a barometer because it is a “caveman” yardstick.

I suggest we all ignore the 100-day mandate and eliminate the Electoral College, which is truly an ancient caveman atrocity. I agree we are living in a more complex world. Why are we allowing knuckle-draggers to run it?
