Dear Editor:
Wow! NDP leader Adrian Dix has managed to redefine the term "young offender", not just once, but twice in one election. First, he pardoned himself for forging a document for his boss, Glen Clark, when he (Dix) was 35 years old. Apparently, 35year-olds don't know that forging documents, and then lying about it, is wrong.
And now, 21-year-olds are also exempt from having to show good judgment and knowing right from wrong.
Dix said as much last week when he dismissed a racist comment made by his Burnaby-Lougheed candidate, namely Jane Shin, as being the mere folly of youth.
I simply cannot accept the age-based rationalizations Adrian Dix has offered up in either of these cases. There are serious questions swirling around Shin - a racist comment and a highly misleading, potentially fraudulent, resume - and these questions need to be answered. This province needs to be led by trustworthy leaders, not by those who have obvious difficulty being truthful and honest.
Randy Rinaldo, Burnaby
