Dear Grapevine
Re: “Canada is at a Juncture”
Well, hats off. The anonymous letter to the editor in last week’s GV reminds us of all we’ve come to expect and value from your paper. Full of unique insights, startling revelations, and brave stands that we might otherwise only get through social media. The real truth that one never sees in the legacy media. I was a bit disappointed though, that we didn’t see something about the globalists’ ongoing campaign to have us spend our lives inside, eating insects, in the name of their bogus climate crisis. Part of their taking control over us of course. Carney has almost certainly played a role in this too, Might we see more on this next week?
Thanks again, Howard Stewart.
Ps: You can withhold my name if that’s become the new policy for letters to the editor.
Editor’s note –
Thanks to Howard Stewart for being an ever vigilant proofreader and “communitarian” for pointing out my error and omission of attribution of the Letter to the Editor in last week’s issue, Mar.27th/#1677.
Its author is Helen Grond of Hornby Island.
Proper attribution WAS given to the letter on our website theislandsgrapevine.com at last week’s press time.
The omission was purely a mistake at the layout part of the printing process. This can happen to any publication that prints thousands of words, 50 weeks of the year. And as with any publication the chance of ‘correcting the record’ presents itself in a subsequent issue where apologies can be extended to readers and contributor alike. In this instance to Helen Grond and to TIG readers, not the least of whom Howard Stewart, who’s standards serve as measure of how woefully short the paper falls…. every week.
Nonetheless, TIG muddles along priding itself on being committed to Diversity, Equity, and the Inclusion of the wide spectrum of views that exist beyond Howard’s furrowed brow. As stated in every issue, views expressed in the paper aren’t necessarily held by its Publisher. As our unofficial proofreader Howard can attest that letters in the Grapevine have reflected leftist, centrist and conservative views.
I’d like to reassure our readers that they needn’t worry about TIG’s commitment to supporting the lawful right of free expression. Howard’s opposition to someone expressing their endorsement of a political party he disagrees with disqualifies him as a candidate for promotion to a role of editorial influence at the paper. His skills of keen focus and narrow perspective long ago identified as being best suited to proofreading.
And as for myself, TIG readers will continue to enjoy my commitment to the goal of getting it righ…correct, each and every week. With accountability in the times when I don’t.
Happy Spring everyone!
Mike Van Santvoord
