Dear Editor
Could Mayor Corrigan be considered a terrorist, asks the rather prolix member from Burnaby-Douglas, because of his participation in a demonstration against Kinder Morgan on Burnaby Mountain this summer? He asks this, presumably, out of fear of the proposed security legislation put forward by the federal Conservatives - the controversial Bill C-51. Now I wouldn't care to proffer comment on that matter, but it does seem to me that he might have been charged with criminal trespass, or, at the very least - aiding and abetting same.
That said, we are emboldened to ask how Mary Wagner, of Toronto, presently a prisoner of conscience there (her face now appearing on Polish postage stamps) for the hideous crime of distributing roses outside of an abortion clinic there. Or, if you wish, closer to home, how and why Linda Gibbons, has spent more time behind bars than most murderers and child-molesters in this country, for the heinous crime of protesting inside a so-called bubble zone! If Mr. Kennedy Stewart seeks a paladin of virtue re: freedom of expression, he might want to start with those already silenced behind bars.
Larry Bennett, Burnaby
