More questions than answers in Buffalo Declaration
By Letter to the Editor on February 29, 2020.
The Buffalo Declaration raises more questions than can be answered in Canada’s current climate of extreme political correctness. First and foremost, why have only four of Alberta’s 33 federal Conservative MPs signed up for this dangerous and revolutionary document? My guess is that it is too politically incorrect for our weakling Conservative Party of Canada. Remember, this is the political party that is currently having a leadership race because it’s Roman Catholic leader, Andrew Scheer, didn’t know how to answer questions about abortion without upsetting the usual suspects. And then there is the leading aspirant for Scheer’s job; the infamous Peter MacKay. He is a very brave person to declare that the first thing he will do as Conservative leader is to appear in the Toronto Pride Parade. All this does not bode well for Canada or the Conservative Party in these perilous times where every crisis appears to be ignored for the sake of political correctness. This newspaper, being on good terms with one of the four brave Alberta MPs, Glen Motz of Medicine Hat Cardston-Warner, should be able to get to the bottom of the Buffalo Declaration. It raises many issues, and the News needs to take the pulse of the Medicine Hat-Cardston-Warner constituency. My suggestion to the reporter(s) given the responsibility for this assignment is don’t give a damn about political correctness. Just give us the facts in simple, short sentences, and paragraphs. Don’t make it boring and too long like those spaced out Saturday editorials which leave most readers looking for cartoons after the first three paragraphs. You might surprise yourself with all the new subscriptions. That’s because people are fed up to the eye balls with political correctness and just want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. John Stanley Medicine Hat 8-7
