To the Editor,
Re: Media not supplying facts to electorate, Letters, Sept. 1.
I view almost all Joe Sawchuk letters as ‘Hail Mary’ attempts to forgo the inevitable.
The first thing that strikes me about ‘media not supplying facts to electorate’ is that classic left-wing media bias BS whine.
George Abbott, John Les, Kash Heed, Kevin Falcon and perhaps the ‘red baiter’ Rich Coleman, are going, or gone, and weren’t they for the most part involved in that shameful revolving door solicitor general ministry?
Second, I hope Sawchuk saw the ‘Honey I Shrunk the Caucus’ cartoon in the same issue. And remember, this paper’s Tom Fletcher is the only person way out there on the right with CKNW’s Mike Campbell and Falcon.
We punted W.A.C. Bennett, Dave Barrett, Bill Vander Zalm and Ujjal Dosanjh, but this tyrannical regime was the first we got to read the riot act to with the HST referendum. Sawchuk likes to forget that.
No mention of Falcon when running for the leadership of Liberals, asking Christy Clark if she’ll be around for the next election – because he would.
But then, we know he will be back in politics.
Sawchuk has written of the NDP as the ex nobody wants, when the reality is that this government is the cheating spouse with brushes of the law.
We just went from unwanted to hate.
