Vancouver Sun letters to the editor for Thursday, March 28, 2019.
I noted the story in Saturday’s newspaper regarding church redevelopment projects in Vancouver and was a little disappointed that in two full pages our project at Thurlow and Pendrell streets got one insignificant sentence buried in the middle at the bottom of the first page.
Redevelopment is not holy but, at least, commercial developers give tax-deductible donations to these churches to acquire development rights or a share of the profits under contract, effectively getting the lands at a cost reduced by their tax deduction payable by the people of Canada.Humboldt sentence too highI was saddened and disappointed by the severity of the eight-year sentence that Jaskirat Singh Sidhu received for causing the Humboldt Broncos accident.
I assume the judge was swayed by the extreme consequences of his action and likely also a belief that the community wouldn’t accept a non-jail sentence. However, she is just wrong and I hope the defence will appeal the sentence and we will find out if the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal agrees with her.
The report states that Broadway light-rail transit would have a practical capacity of 6,120 persons per hour per direction yet ignores that Toronto, before opening its first subway in the 1950s, had trams carrying 12,000-12,500 pphpd on key routes.
