Usually Ziggy Eckart's frequent letters are entertaining, whether one agrees or not with all Ziggy's opinions.

However, accusing "anti-pipeline supporters" of "assisting global terrorists" is extreme, and stating "ISIS, Hamas, Boko Haram ... all appreciated (Mayor) Derek Corrigan's and (MP) Kennedy Stewart's support" unwisely borders on defamation and ought to be addressed by Ziggy or by the Burnaby NOW editor with an apology and retraction.
