‘Crossed the line’
Dear Editor:
Your editorial cartoon (June 18) crossed the line.
To equate the Prime Minister’s efforts to give financial assistance to Canadians affected by the pandemic to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis is no less than disgusting.
It is insulting to People of Colour who endure conscious and unconscious bias throughout their lives.
It is insulting to those who have lost their income and who are receiving a hand up from those of us less affected.
It is offensive to all Canadians who want to see an end to racism whether overt, covert or systemic.
It is offensive to Canadians who believe that we are all in this together and must all work together to get through this pandemic.
Your readers deserve an apology.
Peter Varty, Fergus
