Opinion

Editor: I lived in Ottawa for many years and experienced life with a maze of one-way streets. Confusion reigned with emergency services and bus routes, not to mention picking up kids from activities and getting to restaurants and shops.

Editor: This year the Sunshine Coast Pro Life group is joining with the Knights of Columbus to encourage a local protest coinciding with the large March for Life gatherings in the federal and provincial capitals.

Editor: I have kept from writing to voice my opinion here in this forum since I moved here three years ago, but now I am going to let my opinion be heard about the one-way plan for Cowrie Street.

Dear Mr Weston: I'm writing to ask you to support a ban on the harp seal hunt. It is cruel. It tarnishes Canada's image on the world stage. It does not improve fish stocks.

Editor: This is a plea to parents to please educate your children about bicycle and pedestrian safety.

Editor: This year Alison Lindsay and I volunteered to coordinate the Roberts Creek community cleanup for Earth Day celebrations. First, I would like to thank Elaine Futterman for starting the cleanup so many years ago.

Editor: I would never stop anyone from seeing a movie they might enjoy. So, if you really want to watch a locally produced documentary called Salmon Confidential, please do. Bring popcorn.

Editor: Since the recent change in the provincial tax, I am very disturbed to find that PST is now charged at the St. Mary's Thrift Shop in Sechelt. This shop sells articles that have already been taxed at their original purchase price.

Editor: I'm writing about a recent news item on CBC April 23 telling about a fishing boat being hauled out of drydock near Esquimalt and while that was happening, it collided with a Navy vessel.

Editor: Congratulations to reporter John Gleeson for keeping Sechelt taxpayers informed about the District of Sechelt's unsafe Cowrie one-way ominous plan.
