LETTERS: You didn't have to print 'disgusting' art

Dear Editor I just want to express my disappointment and disgust at this so-called reimagining of Stephen Harper, with the face on a leopard. I know we have freedom of speech and expression, but you don’t have to print this disgusting stuff.
Dear Editor
 
I just want to express my disappointment and disgust at this so-called reimagining of Stephen Harper, with the face on a leopard.  I know we have freedom of speech and expression, but you don’t have to print this disgusting stuff.  I hope you have better judgment next time.
 
Two things:  first, Mr. Harper was not perfect, and I didn’t always agree with him either, but he did as good a job for Canada as anyone could have done under the circumstances.  Second, as a boy I was brought up to respect our nation’s leaders—even if we didn’t agree with them. 
 
I have been amazed and very disappointed at the vitriol in speaking of Mr. Harper and intense hatred expressed by many Liberals over the years, as if he was the devil incarnate. It was neither fair, nor honest. 
 
I am very sorry to see in Canada individuals with so much hatred and poor judgment.
