Minorities require respect

Dear Editor:

I wish to comment on Doug Collins's edito-
rials in the North Shore Ne

Some have disguised his racist remarks about
non-Anglo Saxon Canadians as “freedom of
speech.” | am totally for freedom of speech, and
encourage everyone to express their views on
any topic(s) that are of concern to them.

Doug Collins should be able to express his
views, though some of us don’t agree with
them.

However, week after week Collins talks
about the same topic, too many immigrants in
Canada. After two years of reading his editorials,
he has made clear his views on immigration to all
readers . He does not need to go on everv week,
like a broken tape player, repeating the same
thing over and over. We, the “real Canadians,”
should sympathize with the minorities: when

they vet frustrated with Collins’s constant show
of hatred.

Most of these people are not going to leave
British Columbia or Canada as Doug Collins
would like to we. The talk of hate does nothing
for Canada but keep it d

When these newly arrived immigrants begin
to feel unwanted by Canada, they turn inward.
We should not be surprised when we see them
talking with one another in their native lan-
guages.

Some
non-English C i : writes
against Collins itorials, but stop: short of
condemning Collins tor starting the exchanges
of hate. The more respect we show them, the
more respeet they will show us.
