The Penticton Western News carried two interesting letters to the editor (Wednesday, April 8) by Billesberger and Durance.
Both letters describe how the Harper government is destroying Canada and everything it stands for. They go on to tell us that medicare will be eliminated, as will the RCMP, and God help us, the CBC and many other institutions up to and including the Supreme Court. Bellesberger and Durance must be privy to information not available to most of us. They know exactly what Mr. Harper does, thinks and plans. Their knowledge makes even career journalists look like amateurs.
My guess is that these two people do not have information not available to everyone. Because of their obvious political beliefs they are experts at venomous attacks on others and they stop at nothing. What they don’t realize is that these kinds of attacks cause people to vote for anyone but them. That’s why their party has never become the Government of Canada and never will. There is a lot of talent in their party and it is too bad that they can’t learn how to criticize and propose alternatives.
If they could get as good at proposing alternatives as they are at criticizing they would get elected in a landslide. People won’t vote for a party that is so paranoid that they can’t see the forest from the trees.
