Editor: I cannot believe that you pay Tom Fletcher to write the kind of stuff that he wrote in his most recent column (The Times, April 20). This is exactly the kind of material that pours out from right-wing ‘think-tanks,’ who are paid by Big Business to influence public opinion on their behalf.
This could easily have been a press release from Emperor Harper or from Princess Christy and her BC Liberals. Your newspaper could make some money by charging Fletcher to print his political press releases. He will be more than repaid by his corporate paymasters.
At the very least, please stop referring to him as a ‘legislative reporter’ and more accurately call him a ‘political lobbyist.’
