Stop shouting, try a realistic conversation Re: “Morgan’s columns should come with a health warning,” column, Jan. 29.
Trevor Hancock’s response to Gwyn Morgan’s commentary on “net-zero” was certainly impassioned, albeit filled with the standard ad hominem attacks that persons on the left of the political spectrum often find necessary to bolster their viewpoints.It seems to me that the history of human civilization has been driven primarily by the search for energy that is plentiful, cost-effective and efficient .
We seem like a fairly clever and resilient bunch, so we will no doubt continue to work on new energy sources such as fusion, hydrogen and the like. In the meantime, fossil fuels are it. I do not expect to see “merchants of doubt” such as Morgan still given a platform in an otherwise good newspaper.Opposing views are not evil and greedy Re: “Morgan’s columns should come with a health warning,” column, Jan. 29.
This is not a warning, but a suggestion that you consider opposing views as something less than evil and greedy. Just don’t try it in the faculty room.Dogs make families feel unsafe in nature Re: “Saanich seeks more input on dogs in parks,” Jan. 28. It’s not the rare cougar or bear we fear, but out-of-control dogs. We are constantly on high alert, carrying large sticks with us to defend ourselves and bracing for impact when we hear dogs approaching from around corners or off trails.
I hope more people begin speaking out about this growing problem and encouraging Saanich and the CRD to do something to bring these dogs under control. Only one small park has a summer prohibition , along with two beaches in the summer months after 9 a.m. .
