To the editor,
I noticed an ad from a local store whose name I expect you won’t want me to mention. It was for a red T-shirt that looked orange with the phrase ‘Sorry eh’ on it.
There was a lot of negativity around celebrating Canada Day this year. To have this phrase printed on any coloured shirt trivializes and disrespects the Indigenous students’ experience.
I am deeply offended by this business for selling the item and the Bulletin for printing this ad.
C. Perry, Nanaimo
