Letters: Hoping it wasn’t here

Editor:  

This, from a recent Guardian interview with Naomi Klein: 

‘When we moved back to Canada and started doing election campaigning, my partner Avi knocked on a door and met a very fit person who looked like I could have taken an Ashtanga class with her. And all she wanted to talk about was vaccine passports and how she was opposed to vaccines. She said: “I have a strong immune system.” And he, very tentatively, said: “Well, yes, but not everybody does.” And she said: “I think those people should die.”’ 

Can we hope against hope that this wasn’t when Mr. Lewis was campaigning in our West Van - Sunshine Coast - Sea To Sky riding? If it was, I am shamed beyond words. For each of folks like this I hope there are 1,000 people who’d open that door with kindness in mind and not hate.
