Is the Conservative bias so ingrained in the Canadian western media that one of you cannot see fit to attribute David Lewis’ political affiliation to his quote on the editorial page of your May 5 issue?

Due to the nature of his statement, the fact that he was the leader of the federal NDP from 1971 to 1975 is significant. Especially since the majority of Bow Valley students voted for his party last week.

I was also shocked to see that the well written, “objective” election piece by Tanya Foubert and the great photo of the Banff Elementary students by Craig Douce were on page 12 of your paper. Does that not deserve a front page?

Are your editors affronted by students who have the courage and the audacity to challenge Alberta’s robotic status quo? If so, just wait until they’re 18!
