Howard, respectfully, supporting SISO and sitting on the Immigration Partnership neither proves nor disproves rascism.
No one has accused the Spec or Andrew of rascism. You'll have implied it.
Fact remains. At the time the article was written, there were only two candidates for Mayor. One was Baldasaro.
The other was an unknown Butani who was extensively interviewed by Andrew and then summarily dismissed and marginalized. As much as he disparaged him as a Blogger, he was given back in good measure a characterization that he was not happy with. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander. All is fair in love and war.
Unlike the Toronto Star that has a cross section of opinion writers that somehow balances the newspaper, the Spec keeps trotting out more of the same. If you want to redeem the Spec in the eyes of educated folk in Hamilton you must try to offer more diversity. Give Butani space in the Spec to write an opinion piece on what his campaign is about.
