Opinion

Editor: It was my understanding when the council in Sechelt was changed last November, it was partly because the previous council was apparently awarding contracts without due process.

Editor: A look at a previous fixed link project in Canada, the Confederation Bridge, shows up the incredible belief in fairy tales of the proponents of a bridge-road link.

Editor: The tongue in cheek letter from Dianne Goldberg was a delight (“What really matters,” Sept. 25). The dollars it would cost to build a road traffic connection from the Sunshine Coast “to the other side” could be put to better use.

Editor: In response to your Sept. 25 editorial, “Fixed link a diversion,” I feel Mr. Gleeson has ignored the basic economic facts that make a fixed link not only possible but likely.

Editor: Here are some reasons we shouldn’t have a fixed road to the Sunshine Coast: • Our water supply needs protecting. It couldn’t support our present population this summer and global warming will only worsen this problem.

Editor: May I gently remind Simon Broomhill (“Zero credibility,” Letters, Sept. 25) that the people he denigrates as an “anti-George mob” are his fellow townspeople who have as much right to an opinion as he does.

Editor: I attended the George Hotel open house on Thursday, Sept. 24 at Elphinstone school. I went seeking information about the project from the developer and what zoning bylaw amendments were being requested.

Editor: I tried to vote early at Elections Canada offices in our mall. These Elections Canada employees seem to have no idea of the accessibility needs of a blind person (a person who cannot see).
