Dear Editor:

An open letter to Julie Payette, Governor General of Canada:

While not a supporter of Canada’s connection to English royalty, I wish to express my great satisfaction in having a rational, science-affirming, woo-rejecting person in the position of Governor General. I trust that the call from some politicians and “thought leaders” does not dissuade you from rejecting the superstitious nonsense that they would wish you to at least tacitly endorse. I write this in response to the absurd response from Brad Wall, who would rather see a Canada that embraces the darkness of the past instead of the Canada you envision that leads us into an enlightened and educated future.

I thank and congratulate you on being a Governor General that I can truly respect. Please let your speech be but the beginning of your quest for a Canada based on reason rather than delusion.

Robert Granewall, New Westminster
