Thread Name: BS: editorial: does this matter
Subject: RE: BS: editorial: does this matter
The opening post in this thread quotes an editorial by Terry Glavin.
Glavin's name turns up in Mudcat threads if you run a search;
so this is not the first time Glavin has been quoted here.

Glavin's 2008 editorial from The Tyee is not solely focused on
"one man's wild claims," to quote from the editorial title.
And when the editorial repeatedly
(my version left out some of the repeats, I admit it)
asserts, "This matters,"
the object of "this matters" is not limited to the unreliable Kevin Annett.
That editorial has something to say about subjects bigger than one noisy individual.
To Glavin, those subjects matter.
Reasoned consideration and exploration of those subjects matter to him.

Do they matter to the rest of us?

What about Terry Glavin's statement:
"I co-authored a book about residential schools with the former inmates of St. Mary's Mission."
Any observations or opinions about Terry Glavin's journalism in general,
or the above book in particular?
