For saying 6-million didn't die. How did an extremist B.C. Columnist end up a martyr? “Give me a break.” Peter Speck is pacing briskly between a window and couch in his office at the North Shore News, self-described “Voice of North and West Vancouver since 1969.” The paper that Speck launched and still runs is…
