It is great to see, despite a stagnant circulation, the Calgary Herald is managing to keep up its standard of Cut and Paste Journalism

It is great to see, despite a stagnant circulation, the Calgary Herald is managing to keep up its standard of Cut and Paste Journalism to help in its deep thought on the slaying of the four Mounties in Mayerthorpe.

What is it about the Herald where they are quick to publish a story like 'Gun Registry Under Fire For Lack of Effectiveness,' that criticizes the Federal, 'Ottawa Liberal Government,' but never look at the role the Klein Government has played in the lead up to the killings? Is there no press release to reprint on this issue?

Who administers the funding for the level of policing in rural Alberta?

Who funds and has decimated the Mental Health system, or more rightly the missing Mental Health system, in Alberta?

We know the Minister of Justice, our own 'Minister Dithers,' who will write the mandate for the inquiry to be held into the deaths of the four Mounties. Minister Dithers, will not want to take too close of a look at the contributions of his government through their muddled mental health strategy and how they contributed to these four deaths. Along with the many others in the province, since Ralph closed our mental health system.

This will take more than a Cut and Paste effort, but will be well worth it, and might even attract new and old readers back to the Herald.

It would be called Journalism.

A rare animal in this city indeed.
