Letters to the Editor


Took offence - Andree Charbonneau

With regards to a Travel Talk article on a new book of Canadian French, I am not from Québec, and I do not speak Québec French. I am fluent in both French and English, and not Québec French.

Keep 'northern' in the north - Ed J. Brogden

Dave Robinson makes a good point in his July 13 column promoting some form of regional government for the north to differentiate our needs from those in the mighty south. His argument has a solid foundation in economics and local politics.

Mining Act changes needed - Clarence Soule

Employment opportunities in our local nickel industry have deteriorated badly over the past 40 years. At one time Inco employed between 16,000 to 20,000 workers. Now the work force has dwindled to about 4,500.

Mother supports adoptees' rights - Sharon A. Doerr

I would like to congratulate your newspaper on printing Heidi Ulrichsen's July 6 article in which Gail Gilchrist, president of Parent Finders for Sudbury, was quoted. I fully support her position regarding adoption disclosure.

Thanks to Greg Babij - Tracy Browne

Marriage differentiation is only option - Yves Villeneuve

Spitting on the sidewalk is disgusting but spitting on persons is exceedingly abhorrent and absolutely unacceptable in any society. I am a heterosexual who supports same-sex marriage but vehemently opposed Bill C-38.

Stop crying, raise taxes - Paul Sauve

Is Premier Dalton McGuinty not smart enough to realise what is going on? It would be better for him to break one promise but to raise the taxes necessary to carry out all other promises.

Program success tied to political goodwill - Reg Couldridge

I am sure that the less informed will be highly impressed with this attempt to present this "new" program as being some revolutionary and enlightened approach to helping youth in trouble with the law.
