Letter: Respect should go both ways at meeting

Dear Editor,

Thank you to Foothills County Reeve Suzanne Oel for a voice of reason.

I don’t know how anyone can disagree with her saying “The bottom line is people should have a choice to make an informed decision on either side of this without being censored, belittled, coerced or punished.”

Freedom of choice and freedom of speech is essential if we want to live in a society where all citizens have equal rights without segregation or discrimination.

I hope that Calgary’s next mayor will be respectful of views that he/she does not share. For a mayor to call someone’s comments “BS” is not appropriate and Mayor Nenshi should apologize.
