Dear Carol Sanders and Paul Samyn,
I am writing to thank you for the article: “Khan would embrace local peacemaker role,” published on October 24 in Winnipeg Free Press.
It was a change to read an article about local peace amidst the ongoing protests resulting from the events in Gaza instead of an inaccurate covering of the demonstrations or pitting them against each other.
The included citation from former government house leader Kelvin Goertzen explains this point well.
I especially liked that this article included Ramsey Zeid, president of the Canadian Palestinian Association of Manitoba.
I hope Carol Sanders and Winnipeg Free Press will continue to cover the protests’ behind-the-scenes.
Sincerely,
Fatima Haidar,
Media Analyst, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East
