Letters from our readers: Learning about cannabis, a plea to keep holiday lights up longer, evaluating our leaders.
Keep the rail corridor or spend billions Re: “Public transportation is needed more,” letter, Nov. 28.
The letter downplaying the importance of active transportation is mostly uninformed nostalgia and pipe dreams. The underestimation of trails is astounding. Failure to consider developing this public transit system will mean twice as many vehicles on the road , asphalt replacement, and hours of sitting on the one highway we have now, braking, moving forward, braking etc. — a great deal of personal time wasted for hundreds of thousands of people.
That understood, two of his simplistic and undemocratic solutions to remedying some of his party’s serious underperformances around inadequate housing issues appear to have gone to his unelected head. Having scored poorly in both his previous roles, does Eby consider that merely dictating radical new measures for problematic issues will be a cure-all?
Really? Firstly, it is incumbent to recognize the American connection with these studies that draw conclusions based on somewhat different parameters than what one might deduce from reviewing the Canadian experience. Words mean everything, and in this instance perhaps Govender needs to recognize that when pontificating about the rights of particular groups, there is also a responsibility to be transparent and balanced when levelling criticism at that which is working exceptionally well for the majority.
Everyone was asking where the money was coming from to pay for these programs, but apparently Eby and his cohorts knew about the surplus long before it was announced. Students can learn to trust police through school Human Rights Commissioner Kasari Govender recommends that all school districts end the use of liaison officers in schools because for some students the officers contribute to a sense of criminalization and surveillance.
Lack of family doctors is unsafe and can cause much suffering, and I hope the majority who happen to have family doctors not only feel lucky themselves but stand to support those who do not have one.Bill for a parcel, and nobody will talk I mailed my Christmas packages to family a province over from this one. Cost was $19.58 for a one-kilogram parcel. A bit high, I thought, but it’s Christmas, so let it go.
He should talk with the BoC and think carefully before proceeding down this road. Too many of us remember the stagflation of the 1970s.No magic solution to health-care woes Re: “Surge of sick children in hospitals could force surgery cancellations,” Nov. 25. These are the same shortages that are challenging every province at this time; even the pay-as-you-go U.S. health-care system is not immune.
The notion that many young people view marijuana legalization as indicating a clean bill of health is rather specious, considering it’s highly unlikely that any of them – much less many – view the legal status of cigarette smoking or alcohol consumption as an indication of a clean bill of health. Ironically, the very people in the greatest danger of suffering ill effects from contaminated black market marijuana, the homeless and the otherwise destitute, are the same ones who can least afford to buy at cannabis shops.
