One more time to show you what a good job Mr Mike D'amour, the Editor our local newspaper does at informing the locals with their letters to the Editor. Not one local letter made his requirements this week. He published 4 letters, #1 from Burnaby, #2 from Abbotsford, #3 from California, #4 from Port Moody.
Is this not insulting, calling this paper a "Local Community Newspaper"? It seems to me like the local people have no room for participation. I don't care what happens in California, but I really care about what happens at the Regional District of Mount Waddington with our self-serving politicians all spread as volunteers on those Societies that are not accountable to anyone except the court if you are willing to pay the costs. Our Editor is supposed to be an Investigating Reporter. Why not inform the local people about what happened here and let other countries look after their own news? Are we not the ones who feed you by buying the paper and buying advertisements? Don't we deserve the free Letters to the Editor?
"When the media refuses to inform and the public no longer questions, that truly is the beginning of the end of democracy."
