Ashamed of conduct of city council member

When I read the letter headlined Socialist dumb and dumber should just leave Alberta, which lambasted two Advocate contributors, I was shocked to see that the letter was authored by one of our city councillors.

I am ashamed to have someone like that representing me in city council.

For one thing, Mr. Stephan should understand that although he represents what he perceives as a majority viewpoint, there are opposing views held by many citizens and they have a right to voice those opinions.

However, what is far worse is Mr. Stephan’s slandering of the two Advocate writers in public. It is one thing to criticize someone’s opinion, but it is unprofessional and immature to question their intelligence and to suggest they don’t belong in Alberta.

I find that unacceptable behaviour from a councillor. Mr. Stephan owes John Stewart and Greg Neiman an apology.
