Dear Editor:
To your readers who may still be blinded by all the fear and panic two years into this pandemic, please look up Brian Peckford.
His wisdom and unique perspective on our Charter of Rights and Freedoms should not be taken lightly. His understanding of the many checks and balances that are in place for our government to handle certain situations is eye-opening (which, by the way, our prime minister conveniently forgot before invoking the Emergencies Act).
His court case with the current government about the Charter will, no doubt, be a historic event if it doesn’t get drowned out by all the other media coverage.
To your readers who supported the trucker’s convoy, I applaud you. You were wise enough to see that this Trudeau government will undemocratically do what it takes to bolster their image. You were bold enough to peacefully demonstrate to the rest of Canada that enough is enough.
And, some of you were even smart enough to take your kids, paving the way for a brighter, more politically viable future; more kids should be watching this closely, rather than keeping up with the latest TikTok contest.
To all your readers, this is not just about the pandemic anymore. Rather, it’s about the continual lack of proper representation and the deterioration of fundamental governance.
This pandemic should no longer excuse our elected officials from doing their jobs properly, nor should it cover-up the current cabinet’s blunders.
Next time we vote, please consider the party with the most common sense and stop enabling Trudeau – he’s only ruining this country!
Doug Vanderveen,
Belwood
