This bad tax policy feels like loan sharking Re: “A signed deal, a new tax, and no justice,” commentary, Sept. 10.
I fully sympathize with the writer and feel he was treated in a shameful way and should be made whole along with any others treated in the same egregious manner.

The collapse of democracy starts with falsehoods, not facts.Want blue skies again? Well, stop travelling Did you notice at the height of the pandemic, the sky became a brighter blue?

Let’s change our way of thinking.Police set example for American officers The response of our police officers at the bank robbery in Saanich make me proud to be a Canadian. It is difficult not to compare their response with the response of the U.S. police in the recent school massacre.
A premier and his lapdogs who ran roughshod over teachers and forced young people to work in smoke-filled bars. A premier that “privatized” B.C. Ferries in a sham move.All David Eby has to do is be better than B.C. Liberal attorneys general Mike de Jong, Shirley Bond and Suzanne Anton. Be better than Rich Coleman, Christy Clark and Kevin Falcon.
