Dear Editor,

Your web poll question this week is 鈥淚s this the right time for Canada to be headed to the polls to elect a new federal government?鈥

Can you see the bias in that question?

There are many reasons for an election, not just to change the political party in power.

In this case, the election was called by the Liberals in the hope of getting a majority government rather than being stalled in passing legislation because they have a minority government.

As a Canadian, I resent a newspaper showing such obvious bias. There used to be a time when newspapers reported news. They didn鈥檛 use it as a means to influence people鈥檚 belief systems.

Christine Watson, 91原创 City
