Editors, the Gauntlet,
I recently moved to Calgary from Toronto. Until I read your paper I thought there was no freedom of the press here. Everything I read in the newspapers printed here in this city had a slight but certain notion of being against the Liberal and NDP parties, against homosexuals and against the United Nations. I thought I came straight to hell, where nothing but racists and right-wing politics exist.
Then I read your paper.
The level of journalistic etiquette and respectable journalism that can be found in your paper is one step away from the Globe and Mail; the way your reporters go about their job is amazing.
Thank you for showing me a ray of light–that the rich didn’t buy all the journalistic credibility of this beautiful country.
