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...

Letter to the Editor Editor, As far as Meaford and further Georgian Bay residents know, the only group contacted by TCE was Sunnyside Cottage Association, which includes cottages on a Cedar Ave. No one from nearby neighbourhoods located near DND land (7th Line, 22nd, Captains Court, Grey Road 22, Grey Road 112) was aware nor contacted or consulted in a reference of...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Re: Reader Seeking Representation from Local MPP (September 5, 2019) I really don't understand why some people are not informed on how this system of government works in Canada.The federal government has 'Party Whips', a crude term, but it's to whip its members on to vote the 'Party Line' or what the prime minister wants. This...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I happen to think that ethics are important in government. Canadians’ interest in the SNC-Lavalin affair has lessened, according to the polls. That doesn’t matter to me. What you do when you are in government is no less important than how you govern.For months, SNC-Lavalin lobbied hard to persuade the Liberals to insert a provision for deferred...

Letter to the Editor Editor, There has been a remarkable consensus on immigration in Canada since the end of the Second World War, with governments and political parties of all stripes welcoming newcomers and the economic prosperity and vitality they bring to our country. As I knock on doors and engage with our neighbours across Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound in preparation for the federal...

Letter to the Editor As a brand new school year begins, I would like to extend warmest welcome wishes to our many new and returning Bluewater District School Board students and families. From our youngest learners entering kindergarten for the first time to our senior students beginning their final year prior to graduation, there is no doubt that 2019 –...

Letter to the Editor Editor, For many of us, Labour Day is a time of transition and reflection. For my three kids, it's time to wind down their summer job in Owen Sound and head back to school. During my years as editor of the Owen Sound Sun Times, Labour Day kicked off a noticeable pickup in local news – whether it...
