Your paper is purposely and frequently misleading. In your editorial "The UN must save itself" (July 22/04) you state: In the resolution adopted Tuesday night, the General Assembly demanded that Israel dismantle the security fence it is building to protect against Palestinian suicide bombers." By omiting mention that 90% of the wall is built on Palestinian land you deliberately mislead your readers. False and misleading statements such as this have been made consistently in your editorials and by your columnists. Your paper does not support the United Nations, International Law or Human Rights organizations. You would take Canadians and the world 90 years back to a time when these laws and organizations did not exist. Your paper advocated for the war in Iraq. The fact that the majority of Canadians were against the war indicates that you don't speak for Canadians and Canadians don't listen to you. I will subscribe when you stop the lies.
