Reeses go to pieces over Sunshine Coast editorial<br />
Dear Editor<br />
Are you trying to start a war?<br />
And if so, at least get your facts<br />
straight.<br />
How can you print such utter<br />
and infl ammatory rubbish about a<br />
community that is part <strong>of</strong> the Sunshine<br />
Coast?<br />
Do you not know that tourism is<br />
all marketed under one umbrella for<br />
the whole Coast?<br />
Yes, we are “upper” by geographical<br />
terms but that doesn’t<br />
separate us from the rest.<br />
What planet did you come<br />
from?<br />
When did you land on the Sunshine<br />
Coast?<br />
As you go about spouting crap<br />
and innuendos about Powell River,<br />
Want results?<br />

check around and ask the proper<br />
questions.<br />
Do not surmise you know what<br />
you state as truth because there are<br />
people with long memories who<br />
know what is true.<br />
As for tourism and the branding,<br />
we are all under Sunshine Coast<br />
Tourism.<br />
Powell River is not attempting<br />
to rebrand — we are the “Pearl” on<br />
the Sunshine Coast and have been<br />
for years.<br />
Talk about odoriferous pulp<br />
mills, best to check out why Port<br />
Mellon was nicknamed “Port Smellon”<br />
by the locals as well other<br />
people.<br />
In the spirit <strong>of</strong> compassion?<br />
Help us fi nd a name?<br />
We don’t need that kind <strong>of</strong> help<br />

Call us about waterfront listings with docks in the <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
We own – and live – in Pender!<br />
and we are far from desperate especially<br />
from your kind <strong>of</strong> help.<br />
We don’t need you to “restore<br />
an entire community’s sense <strong>of</strong><br />
pride.”<br />
We already have a healthy dose<br />
<strong>of</strong> it thank you.<br />
This kind <strong>of</strong> article won’t pull<br />
the communities <strong>of</strong> the coast together.<br />
It will do the opposite.<br />
Why not use your publication to<br />
help unite the people not divide?<br />
How do you propose to build a<br />
business when you are doing a terrifi<br />
c job <strong>of</strong> alienating thousands <strong>of</strong><br />
people?<br />
