Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I was watching Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 11/9 in horror of what can be done to innocent citizens, when I realized it may not only be in the U.S. or third world countries.
Are we not guilty of the Flint-style genocide in our indigenous communities? Are we not poisoning our water with the tailing ponds out west? We are not bombing our own cities like they did in Flint, but with the investigations into the RCMP and Thunder Bay police, are we not guilty too? Did the G20 disgrace not show we are capable of a police state too? When Harper ended the long census so we could not evaluate the destruction of Canada and Ford is destroying any good thing Wynne did, Trump style, is that any different from the U.S.?
I think everyone should find a way to see this movie and think about what is going on closer to home. Are the Liberals doing what Obama did when he sold out Flint? We have an election coming, and Ontario North and Canada Proud are pushing hatred and bigotry just like what we see in this movie.
Think about it.
Roberta Docherty, Meaford
