Letter to the Editor Editor, Prior to the recent federal election, we had Mr. Miller representing us in Ottawa and Mr. Harper representing us to the world. Isn't this a strange situation when 60% of voters did not vote for them? How are the ideas of the 60% supposed to be heard? How are the 60% to think that their vote...

Letter to the Editor Editor, This is in response to the letter from a former Green Party candidate who is advocating people vote strategically this election. That writer does not represent the Green Party, the local Green Party organization or Green Party supporters. One of the reasons our democratic system is quickly eroding is because people are deciding how to cast their...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am heartened that so many voters in BGOS (Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound) are taking this election seriously and are making up their minds based on as much information as possible. This is indeed democracy in action. I send special thanks to the scores of local people who have given voters in BGOS the transparent polling information to...

Letter to the Editor Dear editor, The latest Environics poll of 966 BGOS voters conducted October 9 to 11 shows movement towards Liberal candidate Kimberley Love, with 40 percent saying they are voting for Love. I have known Kimberley Love for a few years now and the more I get to know her the more it reinforces why I am voting for...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Strategic Voting should we have to? Answer: No. Strategic Voting do we need to? Answer: Yes. You have the opportunity to be part of a team; a team of regular citizens like myself, who want our country back and who have the power to send a message to Stephen Harper. You are part of the 61% of...

Letter to the Editor Editor, In principal this is a valid argument (September 25 Editorial). Maybe under a more reasonable representative voting system this could be a workable approach. But... In our present system this is a totally impractical and unreasonable.  The only option that voters have today ( admittedly a terrible one)  is strategic voting. Vote for the candidate/party who is most likely able to...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I have been the fortunate owner of a wonderful home in the Beaver Valley for well over a decade now. I could not be happier with my situation, my neighbours, my views and my farm. I feel part of an incredible environment which, while it challenges all of us considerably in those heavy winters with snow...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Re: Vote For The Individual (September 25 editorial) It isn’t always an easy choice. Sometimes the best-qualified candidate in the local riding belongs to a party that doesn’t allow MPs to have a true voice to represent their constituents. That’s why, even if Larry Miller were the best candidate, he cannot represent our interests in a party that...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I watched the debates 1 and 2, and I have seen and heard enough. We now know the party positions. Anything more that the politicians roll out will be a frivolous correction meant purely for vote getting. Harper seems to be scrappy but tired and running out of steam. Oddly Incredulous that anyone could doubt him.. The "Harper...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Recently, there was an event held at Meaford Hall which is a Municipality owned facility, sponsored by a local hardware company who were showcasing their summer barbecue models. Tickets were sold and a cash bar was serviced by part time municipal employees. The bartender, whom I do not know, and is employed part time at a minimum...
