Letters

Letter to the Editor Editor, I would like to start out by saying that I am a senior and therefor may need a little help in understanding complex issues like the benefits of pumped storage of electricity. However, as I read the response to an earlier letter, I could not help but come away with more questions than answers. If the issue...

Letter to the Editor Editor, On behalf of TC Energy and the proposed Pumped Storage Project, I’m writing in response to Mr. Carr’s letter to the Editor. First, I want to thank Stephen for his interest in the project and hope that he will be able to attend our first Community Information Session on December 11 to learn more about the proposal.Second,...

Letter to the Editor Editor, With due respect to the November 14th opinions Mr. Eric Brown and those of like mind express over the virtues of pumped energy storage as a means to reduce CO2 emissions, I believe we are in need of a 'reality check' on the basis of both physics and economics. Pumping water uphill and then extracting energy from...

Letter to the Editor Editor, This letter is in regards to the person who unbelievably phoned the police on a man who was busking outside of Bill's Valumart on the evening of Tuesday, November 26. What motivation could you possibly have for trying to stop a person from making a few dollars to feed himself and his dog? He was not blocking...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Your editorial calling Councillor Greenfield a ‘conservative’ and a ‘dinosaur’ was meant to belittle him but failed. His questioning of a ‘crisis’ is a responsible position to take. Official government records are out there to help investigate claims of crisis, and we trust they are unprejudiced. World crop production is twice population rate; Canadian forest fires...

Letter to the Editor To the editor, I always know we are in for an editorial treat when the name-calling and virtue signalling tactics used by the progressive left start in the title instead of waiting for at least the second sentence of the first paragraph. Sure, Harley has been around for a while, but it doesn't mean his ideas are out...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I think it was Dr. James Hansen (formerly of NASA, and a real Climate Scientist) that covered China and India best. He pointed out that Carbon Dioxide spends 100 years in the atmosphere - on average. That as recently as ten years ago Canada was #4 on the list of all time emitters - total emissions....

Letter to the Editor Editor, Dinosaurs? With respect to the recent decision by Meaford council to jump on the climate change emergency bandwagon, and your subsequent flailing of councillor Greenfield as a “dinosaur”, I would like to offer a few thoughts. There is little or no meaning to any municipal council, large or small, endorsing matters that are 100% out of their control....

Letter to the Editor Editor, When our council passed the climate crisis/emergency motion at the November 18 council meeting, my heart was full. I’m grateful that as a community we are not sitting on the sidelines watching as other people in our country and around the globe suffer due to the warming of the earth and the related damage to our...
