More Information Wanted About Proposed Energy Project

Letter to the Editor Editor, I entirely agree with the writer who is frustrated at the lack of information on the proposed TransCanada-Energy Project on federal land and Georgian Bay. This information should be shouted from the rooftops. Everyone living on the land between Collingwood and Tobermory should be informed and extremely concerned.Georgian Bay and Nottawasaga Bay are crystal clear, clean and...

Get Out and Vote!

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I went to the all candidates meeting in Owen Sound and was really impressed by the good manners and intelligence of the candidates. The best comment came from the Libertarian candidate: "I don't care who you vote for just get out and vote." Maybe you could remind the young people of that. Thanks, Roberta Docherty, Meaford

We Can’t Turn Back the Clock on Our Veterans

Letter to the Editor Editor, I am a veteran who served in the first Gulf War. My son served in Afghanistan and returned missing a leg. I have first-hand knowledge of veterans whose daily struggle with life-altering mental and physical challenges requires more than election talk. Perhaps you know someone in Grey or Bruce counties like my injured son, or who is...

Leaders’ Climate Plan Misconceptions

Letter to the Editor Editor, As the Federal Election approaches, we are all learning of how each party believes they can best address the challenges related to greenhouse gas reduction. We hear the opinions of politicians, journalists and now, children, all of whom are assumed to be knowledgeable on this subject. We rarely, if ever, are afforded the opinions of scientists...

Conservatives: Carbon Emissions Know No Bounds

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, With the revelation during last night's leaders' debate that our climate change leader in chief, Justin Trudeau, is flying not one but two planes everywhere for his campaign, I thought today would be a good time to tell everyone about the Conservative Plan for the environment. It's called 'A REAL PLAN to Protect Our Environment',...

BGOS Liberal Candidate Responds to Thoughts on Climate Plans

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: I read David McLaren’s letter on climate policy in your publication with great interest, and some disappointment. (Reader Calls BS on Climate Plans, Sept. 20) Mr. McLaren is, of course, not just another disinterested reader: he was the New Democratic Party's candidate in Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound in the 2015 federal election. You might have mentioned this at...

Reader Offers More Thought on Party Climate Plans

Letter to the Editor Editor, Michael den Tandt got two things right in his recent response to my letter on the climate crisis – we don’t have ten years to wait, and I was the NDP candidate in 2015. In my letter, I said I was biased. But I’m not wrong about the Liberal’s plan. Fun fact: The current Liberal plan is...

A Senior’s View of the Upcoming Election

Letter to the Editor The Editor, Just a senior’s view about the upcoming election. Every issue being raised/debated comes down to finances. What we have in this country is not a spending problem, but a revenue problem. I am old enough to remember how we used to do business in Canada, before we had FTA, NAFTA, and whatever else poses as free trade…The Dominion...

Reader Questions Municipal Representatives Influencing Federal Elections

Letter to the Editor Editor. This letter is in response to the news item regarding the opening of the campaign office for the Conservative candidate in Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound. Among the list of supporters at the opening are Mayors, Deputy Mayors, and Councillors, including a Councillor from Meaford. To me this implies that these elected officials are representing their respective Councils and citizens...

Reader Offers Thoughts on Trudeau Brown-Face Issue

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, We have become just plain silly. We are making such a fuss about the picture of Trudeau in brown face. It was a Theme party of the Arabian Nights! If the theme had been royalty, and he went as the king would it have been offensive? If it had been drag and he went as...
