Opinion

And you think you got troubles...

Dear editor, I have read with interest the many complaints about Gas and Go, glider tow planes, fire pits and the rest and all it all seems to be is sight, sound and supposition.

Cycling less expensive, better for your health

Dear editor, “If you build it, he will come.” Well, I’m already here. I’m one of the cycling enthusiasts referred to in the Have Your Say section of the Record of May 25.

Residents still wary about proposed Courtenay building complex

Dear editor, We attended the Thrifty Foods information meeting and were pleased to see and hear the residents that were very much against some of the same problems that we have with this project.

Are we getting 31 per cent more services from overtaxing governments? No!

Dear editor, Further to ‘Plenty to rant about’ (Record, May 25), I’ve been trying to cure myself of this affliction; I started a letter a few days ago after I got my tax bill from the regional district, then shelved it.

Dear editor, No to HST ! Just recently I wrote: "One simple way to solve this whole problem would be lowering the HST to 10 per cent. We would pay almost the same taxes as before and the "administration cost" excuse and return of $ would be gone, too. It is probably too late for this solution — I doubt the government will move on this fast enough."

The four Rs are Return, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink

Dear editor, This Valley is enthusiastic about our environment, Return, Reuse, Recycle. However, we also need our government to Rethink!
