The February 2021 issue contained an inflammatory "guest column" by Sandy Metzger (a contributor to the magazine) titled "Is Systemic Oppression Real?" that members of the North Bay community described as "toxic and unbelievably offensive", "a racist diatribe", and "giving white supremacy a platform".
