Readers debate the We editorial in Hamiota Echo
The letter questions whether the we in As We See It reflects editors or a broader press. It targets Prime Minister Diefenbaker, Ottawa politics, and budget reactions, arguing mismanagement and calls for voter action in the upcoming federal election April 8. The writer urges removal of leaders blamed for Canada’s finances, the Bank of Canada, and Royal Canadian Mounted Police leadership.
