Shocking Disgrace

Jim Pond | Feb 16, 2022

This is in response to a letter entitled "Truckers' Protest" written by Mr. Ross Sutherland published in your paper.

Well, well, well. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Look who the conspiracy theorist is now. According to Mr. Sutherland, the recent Freedom Convoy activity is somehow being organized by white supremacists and other mysterious evil forces that lurk behind dark corners in our society. This position is right out of the left-leaning socialist playbook so often heard south of the border from the mainstream liberal media and the Democrat party, and more recently echoed by our own Prime Minister.

Could it be that such talking points are shared when honest, hard-working Canadians express their displeasure with left-leaning, big-government policies? When you don't have a good argument to defend your unacceptable ideas, you resort to name-calling and the politics of division?

If white supremacists exist in our midst, there are not many of them, and they definitely do not have any size or scale of organization or sophistication to enable any type of movement that would influence Canadians or their sense of fairness, honesty, and in their formation of opinions.

To Mr. Sutherland, you are a shocking disgrace to your community.
