Letters to the Editor

Bruce Hyer and John Rafferty must stick to their guns – literally.

To the editor: So once again the council will show that it is in service to local real estate developers and the construction industry by removing any input from people in the neighbourhood and allowing unrestricted development.

The traveling public was mildly amused this week when disgruntled flight attendant Steven Slater struck a blow for abused, overworked and underappreciated workers everywhere.

To the editor: I was glad to see John Brewer's “Feeling ignored” and Andy Wolff's “It’s as bad as it seems” letters to the editor in last week’s edition of Thunder Bay Source.

To the editor: One more Conservative decision and one more reason why our next federal election will be an important one. This month, another important part of our Canada and Northern Ontario was almost lost.

To the editor: In his letter to Thunder Bay Source on Aug.13, Steve Safronuk calls attention to the term “cubic metre” on his water bill. He goes on to say that a metre is used for distance and a litre is used for volume.

To the editor: In an article published in Thunder Bay Source Aug. 13, 2010 (Candidates not numerous), city clerk John Hannam says acclamations are rare in Thunder Bay, and that it’s unusual in Ontario for a city of this size to have any acclamations.

The provincial Liberals, it seems, are about the only people in Ontario in favour of Bill 191, the proposed Far North Act.

To the editor: I was reading my father's water bill and I was shocked to see it was just over $100. But the actual volumentric charge for water usage was $10. What? Ten cubic meters of water and the bill is $100.

To the editor: Last week’s editorial in Thunder Bay Source laments the lack of declared candidates for the upcoming city elections, but I don't quite understand the writers surprise.
