Letters

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am writing to voice my support for the teachers in Ontario in their quest to maintain our world-wide, recognized excellent education system. Teachers are fighting on behalf of parents and students. I am a grandparent with an autistic grandson. Our diverse classrooms need more not fewer teachers and supports to address differences so all children...

Letter to the Editor Editor, This is the third occasion now I’ve felt compelled to respond to TC’s orchestrated 'green spin' on physics and economics. I do so for the benefit of the taxpayers and users of electrical energy who may be less familiar with power generation technologies. Full disclosure this time; I am a retired electrical engineer. During the last 20...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Regarding John Mikkelson's letter of January 17, which read: 3rd paragraph....."TCEnergy will carry the cost of constructing the facility... The net financial benefit for Ontario ratepayers over the lifespan of the facility is estimated to be $12.1 billion". Gosh! This sounds like everyone's fairy godmother!Except, how to measure the cost of environmental degradation, property risk and devaluation,...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Water volume perspective – proposed pumped storage facility There has been concern raised by some regarding the volume of water being moved out of and back into Georgian Bay to serve the proposed pumped storage facility on the base. There is no question that the volume is huge. Properly managing its potential impact on Georgian Bay...

Athletics of all kinds should be an integral part of our education system. All-weather track facilities should have been part of the new high school under construction, but so should have...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I read with shock and not a little disgust about the challenges facing the Coyotes as they struggle to train, especially during the winter months. What kind of people are these who cuss them out because they have no choice but to run on the roadway? It completely baffles my brain. It seems that that there are...

Letter to the Editor Editor, After attending the second TCE information meeting, described as a town hall meeting (which it wasn't), an idea struck me. With all the animosity and negativity surrounding the proposal, wouldn't it be a wonderful to turn the proposed property into a provincial park! It would be a tribute to all the property owners whose property was expropriated...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I would like to clarify some of the statements and misconceptions that were stated in recent letters to the editor on December 19, 2019, including: ‘New Resident’s Thoughts on Pumped Storage Proposal’ by Ric Riordon; ‘Pumped Storage Facility Will Never Pay For Itself’ by Paul Wehrle, Major (ret) BSc RMC; ‘Pumped Storage Will Not Reduce CO2’...

Letter to the Editor Editor, So, apparently in Meaford, the inmates really do run the asylum. After all the grumbling and complaining by council, it sounds as though senior staff will NOT be held accountable for budget increases above the target. Perhaps for once this council would like to do their job, which is to govern, not simply babysit. Learn how to...
