[fvc-wat-disc] Column by Geoffrey Stevens

[Jennifer Ross]

I say we write to him at his email address, and also copy the editor of The
Record.

That we followed the ERRE process very closely, and we have the statistics
on every aspect of it, and wonder what evidence he has to so completely
contradict it?

And we wonder why the Record would publish such stuff, which with the
absence of evidence we have thus far, we can only view as 'fake news' and
as the paper of record for Waterloo Region, does credibility really mean
nothing to them?

And like that.

No other Western democratic country concentrates as much political power in
the hands of one person as Canada does with her Prime Minister.
