Letters

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...

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...

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',...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I believe it is time to clarify much of the information that has been put forward by the Municipality of Meaford regarding the lnter-Township Fire Department (I.T.F.D.). 1. The service provided by the I.T.F.D. is every bit as good as that provided by the Meaford and District Fire Department if not better. 2. The I.T.F.D. provides exceptional training...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I was at the first debate of the local campaign and watched Michael den Tandt, the Liberal, and Alex Ruff, the Conservative, get away with murder. Well, not literally, but certainly figuratively. Well, maybe literally if things keep getting worse. Den Tandt insisted more than once that the Liberal’s carbon tax is working. Well, maybe it will...
