Dear Editor,

I was disturbed to read the item on the bottom of page 8 of the Monday, September 20 edition of the Toronto Sun entitled “Man who killed boss faces assault charge.” After stabbing his boss to death in 2002, a Brampton man tried to kill his present supervisor by running him over, and was facing assault charges. My question is, “Why was he out on the street if he killed someone in 2002?” I am also disturbed to hear of the possible parole of the person who killed an OPP officer in Mount Forest in 1982. Especially since he was sentenced to life in prison with NO parole.

And now, having heard of the Dryden business man, taxpayer, family man, who chose to disagree with the regulations of the government on the gun registry and Bill C-68 -- Bruce Montague, it seems to me that the Sun has been strangely quiet on this story. Bruce Montague, who disagrees with a law that violates the Charter of Rights in 27 areas, faces the possibility of spending more time in jail than Karla Hamolka. It is obvious that the government has deemed “disagreement with government regulation” as a more heinous crime than those crimes against the “lives of Canadian citizens and the lives of those who protect us”. Is this a country full of “girly men” like the Democratic party in the US? Is this Bruce Montague the only man left in Canada? I’m sure there are more out there. If there are, they need to stand with this Mr. Montague against tyranny. Where is the justice?

Sincerely,

Kathy Joslin, Ontario
