Clarification Re: MP Rachael Thomas

By Lethbridge Herald on May 17, 2022.

In the April 1 article “MP Thomas sees social media backlash over Trudeau comments” by Al Beeber published in The Lethbridge Herald, it was not the intent of the story to infer that Lethbridge MP Rachael Thomas thinks Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a dictator. Later in the story, it specifically states that in the House of Commons the Lethbridge MP said many Canadians feel the prime minister fits the definition of a dictator. This explanatory paragraph should have been placed beneath the lead in Beeber’s story to make it clear the use of the term dictator was not directly attributed to the MP.
The Herald apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.
