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?

Community Newpaper
Now that Mr Mike D'amour, our new editor for the North Island Gazzette, our so called "Community Paper" will not print any letters to the editor for us because he's scared to get sued.
I see in this week's Gazette COMMENTARY The True N. I. Advantage.
"The pace is relaxed and no one really sweats the small stuff"
Why is that? Because no one is informed of any stuff, small or big. Our local paper doesn't seem to care.
We've been trying for many years to get the message to the owner of the paper with no results.
They just move the editor of the publisher to another paper they own down island (last count 36 of them).
"PROBLEM SOLVED"
The North Island needs more Democracy and less Hypocracy. We'd like to know what you think about your local Community Paper and you can do it Anonymously right here! Then, we will find out if this can smarten them up and print the news the way it is not babysat. Good or Bad, we want to know them all!
Don't forget, you're not a mushroom, you should not me kept in the dark and fed manure and be expected to make a rational decision on the election day with no information.
"At this time we don't seem to have ANY Democracy on the North Island."
