Peoples’ choice
I appreciated the neutral reporting [“Visit brings out protesters,” February 1] about Christy Clark’s visit to Powell River and the interview by Jason Schreurs [“20 minutes with Christy Clark,” February 1].
The comment “Clark is our premier, whether voters like it or not” [“Editorial: Fair election,” February 1] showed a respect for our democratic process.
I might or might not like every person who is on our council, or our mayor, or our premier or our prime minister. The same goes for south of the border.
According to our form of democracy (which is not perfect), more people wanted Justin Trudeau in for this term than Stephen Harper. If it didn’t go the way I wanted it to, I could yell and scream and whine and be disrespectful, but the people voted and he won the election.
Nice job on your interview, Jason. You showed enough spice and also enough respect.

I read your interview with premier Christy Clark [“20 minutes with Christy Clark,” February 1]. The interviewer did a great job and asked very good questions.
I noticed a couple of things. The premier answered the questions by either saying it wasn’t appropriate for politicians to interfere in this area or she noted some project her government had managed to complete.
She never really answered any of the questions, which has been her format throughout her term in office. Seriously folks, it’s time for this premier to be gone.
