Column is one-sided and meaningless

Re: 鈥淗ow foreign groups influence our vote,鈥 column, March 24. As usual, Gwyn Morgan writes a compelling opinion piece that is so one-sided that it becomes meaningless. It would have taken only two pieces of information to provide some balance.

As usual, Gwyn Morgan writes a compelling opinion piece that is so one-sided that it becomes meaningless. It would have taken only two pieces of information to provide some balance.

First, who is financing Vivian Krause? A quick scan of online information suggests that she started out 鈥渟elf-financed鈥 but has since made a substantial part of her income from speaking fees from the oil industry and various industry and right-wing groups (build it and they will come).

Second, and more important, presuming that all her research is accurate, how do the funds provided by environmental groups compare with the millions provided by the oil industry for political contributions and lobbying efforts?

A little balance would go a long way. As a bonus, just for fun, Morgan should try to get through a column without trashing the Trudeau government.
