To the Editor:
Re: Nov. 24/11 Western Producer, page three, “Conservatives fatten contingency fund.”
As an old merchant navy veteran from the 1940s, I take offence to our federal government’s agriculture minister calling me and all the men I sailed with aboard three different ships years ago a bunch of drunken sailors.
Would he and all the rest of the federal MPs be happy if we called them a bunch of drunks?
Plus, if we did drink, we paid for it out of our own pockets, not the pockets of the Canadian taxpayer, as per the G20 party in Toronto last summer.
