“The TRUTH” sometimes motivates people
to take desperate measures to hide from it!
by Friends of Saanich Inlet
 The CanWest Cowichan Citizen newspaper is freely distributed to the public twice weekly. Various newsstands in Mill Bay/Malahat, Shawnigan Lake and Cobble Hill (Electoral Areas - A, B and C respectively) were raided and stripped of all Citizen papers because this edition (Published Wednesday, February 3, 2010 ) carried Friends of Saanich Inlet article “Thousands not part of the process” by Paul Devoe.
What group would be motivated enough to steal newspapers to prevent information from reaching public? What group would benefit most from lack of public purview of presented information (in the article)? What was so sensitive in this letter that such extreme measures were taken? If so, was a nerve touched within these special interest group(s) thus invoking such a reaction?
Not only have they taken away pertinent information out of public view but they have committed a criminal act with this theft of advertising dollars from people who have invested in the papers. In doing so, they have tampered with the freedom of the press.
Obviously a corrective action would be to expose these perpetrators more and bring them to justice -- You decide!
The article “Thousands not part of the process” published in 'The Citizen' Feb 03, 2010;
