Re: Lac des Roches Development
In reading your article of the Lac des Roches development, (Free Press, Sept. 1), I cannot explain how offended I feel by the remarks of Mr. Robin Levesque, at the Rod Lake Hall meeting on August 25.
According to the propaganda put out by our governments, both federal and provincial, they speak of compassion, tolerance and ‘for the people’.
With his remarks I feel as though I have been run through by the sabre of a tyrant wedded by a dictatorial oppressive bully leader.
I always thought we had a democracy here. In a real democracy the people have a voice and tell the government what they want done for them, not to them. In a real democracy the majority rules.
Now we have a few wanting to wreak havoc on a land. We have many in opposition, but the plan of the few will prevail, according to Mr. Levesque.
The time has come to advise our legislators, ministers and the premier where we stand. I, for one, will not stand by and be run roughshod over by bullies who are the people’s employees.
