The Editor,
Re. “‘Troubling’ use of Golden Spike for a political event” (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 11).
Would letter writer John Grasty call the Mayor’s Summertime Celebration at Port Moody city hall with Mayor Mike Clay taking advantage of public resources and the goodwill of the community for political gain?
Or how about all the free advertising for the event in the city calendar and the “Mayor’s Corner” published and distributed in the taxpayer-funded Focus pamphlet?
Mr. Grasty may be a supporter of Mayor Clay but this is simply a personal attack on Coun. Rob Vagramov’s right to free speech and peaceful assembly protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms regardless of city bylaws.
