Same ‘grifters’

Dear Editor:

RE: ‘Concerned parents,’ Oct. 5.

One must assume from Susannah Sinclair’s letter that children are nothing more than chattel owned by their parents. So parents are the slave owners and children are the slaves to do the parents’ bidding. My late wife and I raised two wonderful daughters, but they were never our chattel in the same way I did not own my wife or she me. 

As for the so-called “1 Million March” – I saw the demonstrations which contained a few hundred. 

Of course Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre loved it in the same way he embraced the criminals of the convoy. This “Save the Children” is a group of anti-gay people; the same group of grifters that were in the convoy, taking their orders from Trumpland. 

People like Poilievre set in motion the nastiness that we are seeing on a daily basis: gay flags burned, bullying of women, cowards. He is part of the movement.
