Leitch must show that truth matters

Re: Google, Facebook promise tools to sift fake Canadian news, Jan. 25

If Leitch fails to fire Kouvalis, she’ll be demonstrating to Canadians that truth no longer matters, that leaders need not possess a moral compass, and that she espouses U.S. President Donald Trump’s his alarming indifference to factual reality and common decency. Wellner Gagnier, Delta
