Thank you for your excellent weekly coverage relevant to residents and visitors to Whistler, and your overall balanced tone. But a recent “opinion” piece by Vancouver journalist Kirk LaPointe missed the mark completely (Pique, March 14, “Trump’s shadow looms large over Carney’s path forward”).
At a time when we need to stand strong and united as Canadian citizens, why is the Pique giving so much voice and print space to this needling criticism of Mark Carney—mainly because he set a serious and measured tone for his acceptance speech? Mark Carney says himself that he is “not a politician, but a problem-solver.”
At such a time for Canada, we should respect any leader willing to take this on and be looking for substance, not show. LaPointe’s opinion piece shares nothing new but reads like a rehash of what’s already out there online or in print. Pique readers deserve something better and fresher—such as the positive call-to-action piece by Glenda Bartosh (“Keep on movin’ on,” March 14).
More Glenda and less Kirk, please!
