Letter: ‘Woke’ is an overrated word

By David Reed, Vancouver
Published: July 9, 2021, 6:00am

The Trumplican party and their minions like to label anything they don’t agree with as “woke.” It has become a quixotic obsession, quickly moving to a status on par with spreading “the Big Lie” religious doctrine. I predict that particular word will be identified as the most overused and overrated word of 2021. It causes a hearty laugh every time I see or hear it.
