Re: "15-minute cities," Airdrie City View, editorial, Feb. 16, 2023
Dear editor,
The fact that some people have other viewpoints regarding the 15-minute cities matter should be welcomed and appreciated. No one group has all the answers or knowledge .
However, your recent "Our View" was not really a viewpoint so much as it was a smear campaign to simply shout "conspiracy theory!" and thereby discredit others with an opposing view. It was intended to kill debate and shame others into submission – something Justin Trudeau used during the Freedom Convoy last year to shut down discussion.
Obviously your publication travels with the herd, (on the far left), and wants this controversy to simply disappear as being another urban planning concept. Nothing to see here, move along .
Unfortunately so called "Conspiracy Theories " are proving of late to not be all "hot air". There are elements of truth in some of them. You might want to keep an open mind on that in the future .
