Dear Editor, Some people strive all their lives and never get recognized for their efforts. March 15 Brian Docherty had his time to shine. He was presented with the King Charles III medal at the People Care Nursing Home in Meaford (Editor's note:  see page 11 of this week's print newspaper). He is so very sick but it was obvious...

Editor, It is an astounding revelation that our duly elected Meaford Council have just passed a vote on a bylaw suggested by and maybe even written by a non-elected corporation. Now our Council is bowing to future corporations who will control the future of Meaford. As TCE manipulated our Council to conditionally approve this antiquated, destructive and ill-advised Pumped Storage...

Editor, I have been a Starlink customer from 04-23 to 03-25. The ISP is good but expensive to start up and monthly fees are high. Save $47.20/mth using a local ISP that has better performance with no data caps Keep the $ in Canada. Stop paying $158.20/mth to Musk in the USA Possibly prevent impacts of retaliatory tariffs that may...

Dear Editor, I feel compelled to challenge Dave MacDougall’s distorted view of the TC Energy Pumped Storage (OPS) proposal’s benefits and Save Georgian Bay. D.M: “As a renewable energy storage facility it will help to stabilize Ontario’s Energy Grid as we transition to electric vehicles.” FALSE. The OPS is not storage for renewable energy. Rather, (as the government press release notes), it...

Editor, Today, all of us share the fact that we are one day older than we were yesterday. We often tend not to think of aging day by day and only acknowledge the passage of time when something out of the ordinary happens. AND, something out of the ordinary happened a few days ago on a residential street in the...

Editor, I write in response to a recent submission to the paper by Mr. J Hepple of Meaford. With great respect to Mr Hepple and to the millions of other people who might share his points of view on this subject, it is clear there exists a complete misunderstanding of the subject of “Climate Change”. Firstly, with respect to energy storage,...

Editor, We all face many practical issues: CO2 pollution that is a major contributor to climate change and extreme weather Protecting our environment Maintaining our infrastructure to enable affordable housing Jobs, housing, health care, education Transition from gas and diesel vehicles to electric vehicles Transition to fully renewable energy sources for the electric grid High cost of living Taxes Our council...

Dear Editor, Our PC candidate has shown us how inaccessible the PC government is. He did not even have the decency to appear at the all candidate’s meeting on Health Care! Why is he avoiding us? Because he would have to answer for how his party is harming us. The PC government has shown time and time again that they are...

Editor, I voted this week. I went in the wrong door at the former Edwards building. Gave me a full picture of the logistics of running an election. In addition to the many workers in the voting area, a massive room full of material for each poll in Bruce Grey Owen Sound was being sorted by more paid staff. Multiplying the costs...

Editor, In response to the recently announced $285 million pre-development gift to the TCE/SON proposed pump storage development in Meaford I complained to the Auditor General that if action had been taken as previously requested by myself that this payment authorized by Minister of Energy Lecce would have been deemed a fraud on the taxpayer. The project has obviously better and...
