Re: Timely reasons to honour past, June 13 letters.
As a veteran and a son of a veteran who fought and was wounded in Italy and lost two brothers during the Second World War – including one at Dieppe – I trust letter-writer Al Whyte’s call to remember the sacrifices of Canadians was not intended to rally voters for this October’s elections.
That would be a travesty.
(Editor’s note: The letter encouraged “voters to seek government leaders who have the well-being of our citizenry as their ruling credo,” and did not mention any specific politician, jurisdiction or level of government.)
Even more so, a newspaper that would go so far as to print such a letter would be guilty of a demonstrable lack of judgment, and, perhaps a blatant example of partisanship.
Since I want to believe that no one would sink that low, I will apologize in advance to both Whyte and the Peace Arch News for my inferences.
Lest we forget.
