Letters from our readers: More on the doctor deal, governance at the City of Victoria, the proposed Barberton project.
MDs get money, NDP gets an election boost The announcement provides hope for many that our longstanding medical problems may lessen.
And the sweet thing about it for the NDP — the Liberals can’t criticize it. With a huge financial package to be paid to B.C. teachers and several other government employees set to receive big bonus pay packages, it’s going to be a painful period for B.C. taxpayers.Saanich Stats Canada reports that Greater Victoria has gained 10,000 new residents since the last count. The new residents would require family physicians and health services. The same is probably true for other areas in B.C.
I did so and was informed that I was not on any list for a doctor. When I contacted the centre to ask what had happened, they told me that they had not received any notice of the initial Island Health takeover either. The reference to “the eight candidates who ran under the Better Victoria banner” gives the impression those eight candidates, myself included, were running together. We were not.
And while I only had a few discussions with voters about “governance” or the MNP report, which I read months ago, I’ll bet most if not all my council colleagues will be anxious to look at the 30 MNP recommendations to see which ones we want to implement to run our city and council meetings better. We as humans are the top of the food chain. We run the world, not animals. We cannot understand completely what any animal or pet will do. Every year in Canada, hundreds of people are mauled or killed by pet attacks.
The one I witnessed was on a leash. I realized that it doesn’t matter how strong the handler is, a dog cannot be controlled if it’s in its head to attack. The planned quarry expansion will result in a crater that rivals the top end of Texada Island as part of the sacred Malahat mountain at Bamberton is clearcut, blasted, crushed and barged away over the next 40 years.
