As to why they are so pro-Kettle, I wish we had a better answer. From what I can tell, there is a distinct reluctance to acknowledge the validity of arguments against Kettle Island, many of which speak to the greater good of the national capital region. Refusing to acknowledge these seems to me like a simple case of irresponsible and unprofessional journalism.

Of all the positions I have come across, the only one I do not understand, in terms of rationale and motive, are those of the Ottawa Citizen editorials. Why are they so fundamentally pro-Kettle, when it might have been better journalism and in the broader interest of the NCR to simply stay neutral on this issue and report the facts and publish letters? Bravo on your web site. I have been following the issue fairly closely.
