Fairness in criticism

In the June 26 edition of the Ponoka News, James Strachan said Wetaskiwin MP Blaine Calkins accused the CBC of “all kinds of waste.”

Dear Editor:

In the June 26 edition of the Ponoka News, James Strachan said Wetaskiwin MP Blaine Calkins accused the CBC of “all kinds of waste.” Mr. Calkins did not say that at all.

While it is fair to criticize, one should be fair when doing so. Mr. Strachan finished his rant with some fancy words, complete with definitions. So to his letter I say phooey, and the definition of that is: an expression of disgust or disbelief.
