Dear editor:

Editorials ordinarily serve the readership well by highlighting issues, personalities, experience and history concerning local, provincial and federal elections.

The editors are usually well-versed with events and the folks running for office. They fail in this responsibility and privilege when they delve into assumptions and motives without any basis in fact.

With regards to the Jan. 30 editorial, “An unnecessary provincial election,” to state when Premier Ford suggests that Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie and the NDP’s Marit Stiles would be a “disaster,” that he is doing so just because they’re women, does a disservice to all and, in my opinion, is solely a figment of the editors’ imagination.

Pretending that it is just a just a question and using the words surely he’s not suggesting, does not hide your criticism of Ontario’s Premier and it should be beneath The Lake Report’s standards to do so in this manner.
