RE: US People’s Convoy descending on Washington.I read with dismay the column by Myke Thomas in the March 1st electronic version of the Western Standard regarding the US trucker convoys..The two leading paragraphs gave the impression of failure, reporting that one of the convoys had very few participants. If readers had not read further, they would not have been informed that the main convoys had fantastic participation. Many people just skim the headline and first paragraph to get a sense of the facts. I am sure you are aware of that..So one has to ask: what on earth caused him to position the column that way? And how did that escape editorial scrutiny? The US and Canadian truckers are real heroes, and Mr. Thomas should have led off with something much more reflective of the big picture..When democracy is at stake, I expect better of the Western Standard..Respectfully submitted,.Dr. Roger Hodkinson.Edmonton, AB
