No average activist - Christian A. Howald

I was really disappointed after seeing the photos in Sunday's issue about the $500,000 donated to NOSM by AstraZeneca and matched by the Northern Heritage Fund.

I was really disappointed after seeing the photos in Sunday's issue about the $500,000 donated to NOSM by AstraZeneca and matched by the Northern Heritage Fund. I am ecstatic about the influx of generosity coming from the north and support it completely. However, I believe it is misleading to readers to not mention that the activist in one of the pictures is Dr. Gary Kinsman, a professor of sociology at Laurentian University. He is an expert on the matter of
poverty in the region, not just some Joe Shmoe. There are other issues at play here and the readers deserve to know all the facts.
