My email to Shawn Jeffords

I understand you are claiming you have been trying to reach me. That is interesting, given that I was at the Sun just this afternoon.
The picture that you consider important enough to write an entire story about is of me, posing with a toy gun. Your attempt to link it to the Olivia Chow campaign, on which I volunteer, is ridiculous. It is beneath any serious journalist. It is absurd.
I confess I also recently played Battleship with my son. Perhaps you would like to write a lengthy feature about the relevance of toy ships to municipal politics. If so, let me know.
In the meantime, I intend to post this widely, so everyone else gets to see how laughable it is.
Sincerely,
Lisa Kirbie”
