Letters to the Editor

The Christmas season is upon us once again, and there are plenty of organizations out there that could use a little help. In addition to the United Way, two holiday charities are especially near and dear to our hearts at this special time of year.

I have attended every Remembrance Day ceremony for more than 50 years. I get teary eyed when I see the Veterans marching and cannot imagine what they went through. We owe them so much.

There’s a lot of stray dogs and cats facing the possibility of nowhere to go but the city-operated animal shelter should the Thunder?Bay and District Humane Society be forced to close its doors.

To the editor, I thank Mr. Bruce Hyer and Mr. John Rafferty for their position and action on the long gun registry. They are simply voting the wishes of their constituents. Enlighten me.

To the Editor, I was more than moved by the news story released on Nov. 4 regarding our local Humane society, which is obviously in serious financial trouble and in need of our support.

If election turnout is any indication, Canadians are fed up with politicians and the election process.

To the editor: This Nov. 9 will mark the 22nd anniversary of the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. It was a historic event signaling the end of the Cold War, which affected several generations of Canadians between the years 1946 and 1989.

To the editor: I’ve read the umpteenth item about a Mac’s store getting robbed. Obviously Mac’s management is not recognizing or acknowledging the danger they are placing their employees in.

Choosing the polar bear over the beaver for Canada’s national symbol might be the sexy thing to do.

To the editor, why is it that all of the robberies take place on the south side of the city? They all occur in the Fort William area. For starters, the city should ban hoodies. Albert Lipka, Thunder Bay
