Dear Editor:
We have all lost a number of important things in the last few years and suffered through many unprecedented and heinous occurrences.
The murder of George Floyd by a policeman in broad daylight in front of a crowd of people and then the wonderful Black Lives Matter movement; the discovery of over 5,000 Indigenous children’s remains buried without ceremony or markings of any kind; the bold attack by a mob on the White House; the trucker’s convoy that held the people of our capital city hostage for three weeks; and worst of all, this attack, slaughter of innocent people and destruction for no reason by a madman in the Ukraine. All of this made even more difficult to stomach with the pandemic dogging us all for two years.
All these events were covered by our papers, looked at from our point of view, and sorted out from our vantage point, so that we could each try to help in any small way that we are capable of.
Our paper covers all the issues, letting us know what’s going on here and in the world at large. Our editorial pages are diverse and show both sides of every issue. It tries very hard to be fair.
We lost the Guelph Mercury. Please (publisher Dave Adsett), try not to let our paper go.
Christy Doraty,
Fergus
