EDITORIAL OFF BASE

Your Editorial Double Take Is Rude And Insulting.

The RCMP are deliberately inflicting pain and punishment on people
who were no harm to anyone. Your gutless defence of this unnecessary
and hurtful police investigation is what perpetuates injustice in this country.

A newspaper is supposed to represent the underclassses, the
oppressed, the marginalized, those without access to power, the
ordinary person who has no other voice in the community. You have
chosen to advocate the cause of the elite and the powerful, who also
carry guns to enforce their sometimes unjust cause. That is, to me,
the definition of disgrace when it comes to the core values of a newspaper.
