In a May 1994 Dear Editor contribution, C McLellan calls for factual reporting on local violence linked to older youths rather than hockey players. The writer urges residents to identify offenders, report to police, and stresses community responsibility to protect rights and safety.
In a letter and council correspondence, residents dispute Wendy Coomber’s recreation focused coverage, arguing broader council minutes and issues including Highway 29 talks were overlooked. Councillor Terry Webster defends fair reporting while criticizing tax and government policies with sharp, unsparing language.
A critical reply argues about Canadian identity and history, asserting nations forged treaties, survived oppression, and confronting insults about ancestry. It cites Irish, Scottish clearances, Ireland famine, residential schools, Indian agents, Beothuk, smallpox blankets, and colonization harms, urging acknowledgment of past wrongs.
A protesting voice compares corrupt behavior to a beast feeding on power. It argues that employers can dismiss workers who fail duties and likens government to bloodsucking leeches, urging vigilance against corrupt leadership. The narrator cites Saskatchewan’s invasive leeches as a metaphor for oppressive governance.
