Sh...Well, Emily, she seems like a very nice woman. She claims to have written Liberal friendly articles which I now have to research. But still, I don’t understand her position at all re this incident.<br /><br />She said in last email that she likes plain speech and direct language. Isn’t the word barbaric a fancy word rather than the plain speech Justin proposed?<br /><br /><br />______________________________________<br /><br />From: Nadine Lumley [mailto:nadinel_007@yahoo.ca] <br />Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 10:43 AM<br />To: Lakritz, Naomi (CAL Herald)<br />Subject: re your article on Justin Trudeau<br /><br />I assume you wrote that article knowing that's the only way to get published.

In my nearly 20 years of column writing, both at the Calgary Herald and before that, at the Winnipeg Sun, I have always been 100 per cent free to write my opinions, without any interference. Nobody has ever told me what to write or what to say. Not one column has ever been cancelled or pulled because someone higher up didn't agree with the opinion expressed in it. <br /><br />If I were unable to write my opinions, I would not write a column.<br /><br />Naomi Lakritz<br />Letters Editor<br />Calgary Herald<br />(403) 235-7557<br /><br />………………………………<br /><br />From: Nadine Lumley [mailto:nadinel_007@yahoo.ca] <br />Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 10:51 AM<br />To: Lakritz, Naomi (CAL Herald)<br />Subject: Re: re your article on Justin Trudeau<br /><br />Well, now I have to go research your Liberal articles.

I simply disagree with the way he wanted to pussyfoot around in this particular instance.
