Editors, the Gauntlet,I recently moved to Calgary from Toronto. Until I read your paper I thought there was no freedom of the press here. Everything I read in the newspapers printed here in this city had a slight but certain notion of being against the Liberal and NDP parties, against homosexuals and against the United… Continue reading Gauntlet preserves journalistic integrity

Since he was looking straight at me and we were the only two… Continue reading Traffic laws seemingly bind pedestrians

Editors, the Gauntlet:Re: Time for a third Calgary Daily? July 20, 2000 Еvan Osentоn is certainly entitled to lobby as vigourously as he wishes for a third Calgary daily newspaper, but his lobby requires some additional perspective.

Editors, the Gauntlet,Re: Everything and everyoneI feel personally offended by your newspaper. I have been slighted not only your choice of font, but also by the repeated use of graphics and advertisements. Your layout staff has maliciously targeted me as long as I can remember, and I have even gone so far in the past… Continue reading Abstract and cheeky letter gets published

Editors, the Gauntlet,Re: “Death defined along ethnic lines,” June 22, 2000Ms. Fuentes’ editorial contains, as its central thesis, a morally repugnant and factually baseless claim. She is trying to undermine the strongest justification for the creation of Holocaust Memorials and Holocaust Museums claiming they are self serving. The opposite is true. The study of the… Continue reading Community responds to "morally repugnant" column
