Editor, I wonder how many people in our area care about this. As a dual Canada US citizen, I do. Any country that can elect a leader with these "qualifications" has lost their way. Trump: a Convicted Felon with many pending indictments who thinks he is above the law. A tyrant, a fascist, a braggart, a dotard, a misogynist, a rapist, a...

Dear Editor, On October 28 the Grey Bruce Labour Council culminated their Activist Day by presenting awards. The Grey Bruce Health Coalition is honoured to have our work recognized. Brenda Scott, of Chesley and co-chair of the Grey Bruce Health Coalition, was named activist of the year for her work in healthcare, primarily in trying to keep South Bruce Grey Health...

Dear Editor, I am reading your comment on not really ranting (The 3Rs...Rants, Raves & Rumours, November 14, print newspaper). I just want to say that it is not your thing, but your readers are so very grateful that you allow us to do so. We all have a voice, but most do not have an opportunity to use it. Thank...

Dear Mr. Vance, In response to concerns about the serious threats to the human health and local ecosystems posed by their proposed pumped storage project, TC Energy frequently claims, “The federal impact assessment process will address any environmental risks.” This line is often echoed by local officials in Meaford, Owen Sound, and Grey County. But should we believe it? The truth...

Dear Editor, Recently, a very astute resident in the Town of the Blue Mountains (TBMs), contacted a number of other residents about the Standing Committee on Heritage, Infrastructure and Cultural Policy – Regional Governance. In turn, they have asked that I relay their thoughts on the “regional governance” aspect and how these residents are appalled that it was only through...

Editor, The beach at the bottom of Centreville is more that just a beach, it’s a home for memories. I remember when my grandparents first moved to their house on Centreville Road. I wasn’t entirely excited to leave the house that I had spent the first six years of my life making memories in. Leaving the old house also meant...

Dear Editor, This is in response to your Nov. 7 budget coverage, in which you mention the sheer size and difficulty for the average person to understand this document. The cynics among us assume (usually correctly) that this practice is similar to the small print in a sales contract. If you can't understand it, it's harder to question it, and...

Editor, In high school, when I was able to have my parents’ car for the day, I would often spend lunch at the Centreville Beach. Even if it was cold or wet or snowy, I could sit quietly and be calmed and energized by the view and the solitude, and return to GBHS renewed. When I had my daughter, I would...

Dear Editor, There's been some discussion about the size of TC Energy's proposed reservoir. According to Rants Raves and Rumours, Oct. 24 (October 24 print edition), Deputy Mayor Shirley Keaveney, TC Energy's point person on council, described the reservoir as roughly 1.7 kilometres long and one kilometre wide. Still having trouble grasping that enormity? Well, it's big enough to absorb most...

Dear Editor, I have been thinking about all the unnecessary suffering we go through because of dishonesty. It may be something small to the thief, but if it causes pain to the owner of the stolen item it is not small. A lie may seem small but if it destroys a reputation, it is not unimportant. If an act of...
