Clark should resign over his racist comment
It was not without shock and disgust that I read Brent Richter's May 8 story chronicling the vulgar, hateful and ultimately racist comments of elected council member Rod Clark. I have been a resident of the North Shore for 25 years and consider it to be a beautiful environment with accepting political views on both sides of the Capilano River. Upon reading about Mr. Clark's comments, I can no longer hold this point of view of our community.

Clark's racist comment shocking
It is shocking that city councillor Rod Clark could use a racist slur in public and call it common practice in this day and age! Just withdrawing his comment is not enough - he should publicly apologize in this paper and take a sensitivity training class. He represents so many minorities in this diverse city - who is next?

NDP redefines 'young offender'
Wow! NDP leader Adrian Dix has managed to redefine the term "young offender", not just once, but twice in one election.

Apparently, 35year-olds don't know that forging documents, and then lying about it, is wrong.
