Dear Editor:
These things I am sure of:
1) Mere days after the insurrection at the capitol building in Washington, Trump was impeached for inciting an insurrection. Punished. Both Democrats and some Republicans, victims of the insurrection, impeached Trump.
2) Words matter. Lies destroy lives. Lies repeated over and over radicalize people in very negative ways. For example, Trump’s base.
3) We are all in this together. The divisive politics that pits left against right, liberal against conservative, has no place in Canada. I won’t vote for any political party that thinks it can get away with smearing the opposition at election time.
4) Singer Garth Brooks sang at the inauguration of Joe Biden. He sang Amazing Grace. He invited the attendees and the people watching from around the world, to join him in singing a verse. I got out my rusty voice, to join in. It was during that 30-second “moment”, I felt again like, hey, we are all in this together, to create a better world.
Hence my letter.
Jan Corbett,
Fergus
