Letters

Letter to the Editor Editor, I have been the fortunate owner of a wonderful home in the Beaver Valley for well over a decade now. I could not be happier with my situation, my neighbours, my views and my farm. I feel part of an incredible environment which, while it challenges all of us considerably in those heavy winters with snow...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Re: Vote For The Individual (September 25 editorial) It isn’t always an easy choice. Sometimes the best-qualified candidate in the local riding belongs to a party that doesn’t allow MPs to have a true voice to represent their constituents. That’s why, even if Larry Miller were the best candidate, he cannot represent our interests in a party that...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I watched the debates 1 and 2, and I have seen and heard enough. We now know the party positions. Anything more that the politicians roll out will be a frivolous correction meant purely for vote getting. Harper seems to be scrappy but tired and running out of steam. Oddly Incredulous that anyone could doubt him.. The "Harper...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Recently, there was an event held at Meaford Hall which is a Municipality owned facility, sponsored by a local hardware company who were showcasing their summer barbecue models. Tickets were sold and a cash bar was serviced by part time municipal employees. The bartender, whom I do not know, and is employed part time at a minimum...

Letter to the Editor Editor, This week, our kids returned to school. I have two sons successfully launched into careers, and one son embarking on third-year university. My daughter is heading back to high school after a busy summer. I think a lot about their futures: where they will live, what they’ll be doing in five or ten years, whether they’ll...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Those of you who know Jim Merriam will know what this letter is about. For those who don’t, all you need to know is that he is a conservative columnist for a daily newspaper in Grey Bruce. And he keeps mules. I rarely agree with Mr. Merriam or he with me. It’s not because of his...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I am a long time consultant in the environment and recycling industry.  I was just reading the article on adding film plastic and styrofoam to the BB curbside collection. I am supportive of adding these materials to curbside collection (I support the user pay concept).  A statement in the article that film and styrofoam are being added 'at...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I went to a 55+ club meeting today to listen to Larry Miller address the club. I needed to hear him and I did. He comes across as being kind of home spun, and sounds okay, but somehow manages to make me wary.  He tows the party line very close, but does pepper his talk with personal...

Letter to the Editor Editor, There was a time, not many years ago, when Canada was a different country than it is today. It was a time when Canadians wore the maple leaf with pride, whether at home or away. The maple leaf was a symbol of peace, security and democracy that was recognized and respected around the world. Canada was the...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Just a word of appreciation to Grey County for acknowledging the former hamlet of Bethesda. New signs have been placed along Grey Roads 12 and 112 (otherwise known as the Ninth Line and 15/16 Sideroad in St. Vincent). There is nothing left of former settlements such as Elmhedge or Oxmead, nothingbut a sign and a location. In...
