Editor: I am appalled that candidate Ian Tootill has been jettisoned by the BC Conservatives over his “Hitler” remark. This is “unacceptable and shameful?”
If a few more people had spoken up against Hitler, the world might have been spared the unspeakable horrors of a world war.
We live in an age when good people are bullied and cowed into silence by a society and political leadership which will not hear of a second opinion, never mind uncomfortable truth, in the name of political correctness.
As George Orwell observed, “Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” We live in those times.
I have been a card-carrying member of the BC Conservative Party in the past and was begrudgingly considering voting for John Cummins, who is my local candidate.
I’m not so much considering that option any more. The choices are getting pretty slim.
