Editor:

The Canadian society is at a dangerous crossroads.

We are now a society divided. Basically, we have divided into two opposing camps. One camp believing that the government’s actions regarding COVID (lockdowns, quarantines, travel restrictions, censorship, mandatory masking and rapid rollout of vaccines) are warranted. Another camp sees these actions as unwarranted and an attack on our constitutional rights. An open respectful dialogue is urgently needed between these groups. I appeal to both groups to remain open to differing perspectives and opinions.

Until we are willing to objectively discuss our differences and learn from each other, we cannot truly say that “we are all in this together.”
