Cartoonist is ‘funny’

Dear Editor:

RE: Morally reprehensible, March 19.

I have put off for some time congratulating your cartoonist, particularly after the Family Day pictures with everyone preoccupied with their cell phones.

This cartoonist belongs in the big leagues. He’s sophisticated and funny.

Seeing the attack  on the Trump cartoon has finally initiated this letter. A duly elected president indeed. Hitler was also duly elected. 

Obviously, I suppose, calling us the 51st state and wrecking trade relationships with us, hurting many Canadians, is okay.

Rick Steves and Anthony Bourdain in their travels gave a great look at Iran on their TV shows. I guess the real issue is what constitutes the morally reprehensible.

*Editor’s note: Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany in 1933, though the Nazi Party did win the most seats of any party in elections the previous year. In a 1934 referendum, 90% of voters approved Hitler’s consolidation of power by merging the offices of chancellor and president, but the referendum was rife with intimidation and propaganda.
