Letters to the Editor


Letter: Transit overhaul

To the editor: I understand that the process is in place to make some changes to our transit system. However, I am not hopeful considering city management’s record on organizing change, but I would like to make a few suggestions.

Letter: Election unnecessary

Letter: Budget out of touch

To the editor: Tuesday’s Conservative budget hides billions in wasteful spending and offers next to nothing for Northwestern Ontario families and communities.

Editorial: What's it all mean?

In January of this year a province-wide earthquake drill was held in British Columbia to help residents prepare for “the big one.
