LETTER TO THE EDITOR
(The Sun - Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg & Calgary)
Dear sirs,
Your editorial of February 28, 2011 reveals new information, courtesy of the secret RCMP file, about the past and opinions of Tommy Douglas. In fact, had the Sun done its own research with any due diligence, it would have discovered that there was nothing new or revelatory in those files. (I suggest your readers explore the three fine biographies of Douglas that are available).
