Letters to the Editor


EDITORIAL: Exercise caution on roads

Driving on frozen, snow and ice covered roads is an everyday act that most people take for granted. But, as two major crashes have reminded us recently, just one wrong move behind the wheel can lead to unspeakably tragic consequences.

OPINION: The Mars reality comes to life

The Mars One project to colonize that planet by 2024 sounds like science fiction to me. Apparently 200,000 adventurers expressed interest in one of the 24 seats on the one-way trip to the Red Planet.

LETTER: Young children shouldn't be taught sexual education in class

To the editor: I have read some of the things that are going to be taught to the kids under the provice's updated sexual-education curriculum.. As if kids in grade school have to know this.

LETTER: Mayor, council should consider taking wage rollbacks

To the editor: I made a deputation before city council recent special budget session. I asked city council officials to take a 10 per cent pay cut in salary and benefits.

LETTER: Event-centre money could be spent in better ways

To the editor: I am in full agreement that Mayor Keith Hobbs should start acting like a mayor for the taxpayers of Thunder Bay.

OPINION: Just watch Justin

At first glance you might think that riding Justin Trudeau’s coat tails would mean a guaranteed trip to Ottawa for some lucky local candidates. That’s what I thought.

EDITORIAL: Hobbs to sue bully

The anonimity of the Internet has created a whole new breed of ugly in the world. Just ask Mayor Keith Hobbs.

OPINION: Tax levy can be reduced

Can the amount of money the city wants from residents in the 2015 City Budget be reduced, I say definitely, yes. At the last council meeting of 2014,council conveniently passed an appropriation order that transferred $4.

OPINION: Protecting the herd

A large gathering of birds is a flock, lions gather together to form a pride and fish swim in schools.

EDITORIAL: City right to refuse offer

The City of Thunder Bay has drawn a line in the sand. City officials on Monday revealed they’ve rejected CN’s latest offer to reopen the James Street Swing Bridge to vehicular traffic. And well they should.
