Thank you, Expositor, for at least seeing that banning Gary McHale is the wrong path to take, "The right to speak," Aug. 22.
There is always a flip side to every issue and they should all be heard. Why is the mayor and those on council changing the rules now?
Call him an activist or one looking for self-glory, but you cannot say that he is out there to create violence. Keep in mind there are many out there who think the same.
The natives were allowed to speak in the past and no doubt will be allowed in the future. Will council ban them also, seeing that they do not live in the city of Brantford? We should all be ticked off by the way city
hall picks and chooses just who will speak. Tell me where is the democracy in that?
We live in Canada where one can express his views. My father served in the army to protect that very thing. After all, we do not live in China or Russia.
Do not use the excuse that there is a limited time to hear those who want to speak on this very issue that matters to all of us.
