Letters to the Editor

To the editor: I attended the Concerned Taxpayers of Thunder Bay DaVinci Centre meeting on Tuesday April 1, 2014 to hear directly from the source what the anti-event centre, pro-plebiscite lobby group wanted for the city.

To the editor: Sargon Khubyar will be a welcome addition to city council.

I have often heard it said that people here in Thunder Bay have their own way of doing things, different from other cities in Ontario and the rest of Canada.

The strike at Bombardier is starting to show a streak of nastiness. Workers, understandably, are worried about their futures.

There is one mocking question being asked frequently in fine dining establishments across the country and around the world.

To the editor: In the past few months the residents on the sixth floor of McGivor Court have been infested with bed bugs. It started out with one person moving in from the Royal Edward Arms and his apartment has been sprayed about eight times or so.

To the editor: Coun. Iain Angus wants the money from the sale of Municipal Golf Course to be put into more parks or improve the parks we have. I wonder what happened to the money the city acquired after amalgamation -- the sale of Neebing parklands.

To the editor: As a worker at the Bombardier plant I feel we should get back to work, let us do our job. My past as a son of a Teamster member I have seen a strong union of brothers and sisters.
