Letter to the Editor Editor, The Meaford Day Away Program runs Tuesday – Friday, and sees approximately 21 clients per day. Our program is located at the Meaford Hospital. The Day Away Program is a community program that provides socialization and medical monitoring for adults, as well as respite for caregivers. Recently we received a donation from the Meaford Apple Harvest Craft...

Letter to the Editor Editor, It sure is a catchy headline for the Liberals to say they are going to plant two billion trees over 10 years! I would like to ask Michael Den Tandt, the Liberal Candidate for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound, how the Liberals are going to execute this. This sounds like more fake news election promises, because this will require planting...

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...

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

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...
