Half-Informed Opinions: Editor Week and Official Languages

half-informed opinions: I use to 'typeset' a newspaper in the old days and it was sometimes useful to find just that one paragraph, according to Hamilton Spectator. In this case, it may have been a paragraph that talked about something that is just too close to intolerance for me to ignore. I think that when you put together the letters to the editor the week of July 6 , you had a small space to fill and you used a short letter that would fit. The writer is just the third writer in a few weeks awarded precious space in our daily paper to express more than dislike of one of our Canadian core values, or just half-informed opinions for that matter. Not liking a particular province because it may have 'caused' our country to have two official languages, is just another indication that we have to make sure that history is being taught in school. I tried all week to ignore it, but it just has to be addressed. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
