Letters

Editor, I want to add to Jim Hepple's commentary in his letter last week. Over a span of several years, SGB has only been able to persuade, through use of dishonest information, 3,000 people (26%) of possibly Meaford residents, to sign their petition. Jim did not make the point that of the other 74% of Meaford residents, a large percentage are supporters...

Mr. Editor, I do not doubt that SGB has 3,000 signatures from community members on petitions opposing the TCE pumped storage project. Reference is made to the petitions being signed by community members. I would like to know the definition of ‘community’ in this context. Did people who live in Wiarton or Parry Sound, for example, sign these petitions? Is...

Editor, I would like to take a few moments to thank all of our dedicated, wonderful Meaford Volunteers, this community rocks! I love our Meaford and hope it always keeps its charm and beauty. But this letter is meant to bring to light our Meaford Volunteer Firefighters. My husband and I help to keep the offices, the meeting rooms, and the museum...

Letter to the Editor, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is accelerating the pace of scientific discovery and innovation, and helping us solve some of the world's most pressing problems. With its ability to analyze vast amounts of data and identify patterns and relationships that might otherwise go unnoticed, AI can help scientists identify new solutions and approaches to addressing complex challenges such...

Editor, There are several valid arguments against the PSP. I believe the most convincing, to those whose real estate is not in the affected area on GB, is one that combats TCE's absurd claim that this storage facility address climate change. There are 3 main initiatives, if pursued, that would greatly reduce CO2 dumped into Ontario's atmosphere: 1. Electrification of fossil fuel...

Editor, Save Georgian Bay leaders successfully handed over 3000+ petition signatures to a representative at the Toronto office of Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) last Friday, January 27, mere days before IESO’s Gate 2 report was due. These petitions are signed by community members who oppose the TCE proposal for a pumped storage project at the 4th Canadian Division Training...

Editor, I recently sent the following letter to the IESO and wanted to share it with your readers. To Whom It May Concern: I would direct you to please first refer to the attached BNN Bloomberg article which is interesting with respect to the TC Energy Corporation’s West Coastal Gaslink pipeline. With changes and upgrades to TCE’s proposed pumped storage project we...

Dear Editor, The best news I've read in a while was the coverage of Grey County council sending staff back for a major re-calculating of this year's budget. The county has, for many years, been a shining example of inefficiency, with equipment they can't justify owning, and a constantly growing administrative staff, with many in supervisory positions spending their days...

Editor, There are quite a large and growing number of legal products and services that can, if used appropriately, be forms of relaxation and entertainment. All of these can also be addictive and dangerous if used excessively. I have a major concern that the most recent of these services are growing in an out-of-control fashion due to rampant targeted advertising. While watching...

Dear Editor, It’s a good thing we aren’t roommates. Two guys wandering around the house in the dark, wide awake at 3:00 a.m., muttering “What are we leaving for the kids?! The grandkids!?” are bound to thump heads at some point. It’s inevitable. I agree completely. Those problems are going to be tough to fix. They’ll cost money. And far too...
