Dear editor, Along with hundreds of other Comox Valley residents, I attended the "all-candidates" forum April 13 at North Island College.

Dear editor, The recent theft in Fanny Bay of over 100 privately owned coal mine protest signs has backfired for the thieves.

Dear editor, On March 21, I presented at the emergency ward with abdominal pains and shortness of breath. Albeit it took a while to be seen and examined, my experience was very positive. All personnel involved with me were professional, caring and friendly at all times.

Dear editor, I see Courtenay and District Fish and Game Protective Association (CDFGPA) officials whining from their headquarters up at Comox Lake about folks going over to the Bluffs at Comox Lake to party. Aren't you the group that sold out your old stomping grounds on the Puntledge River, creating a subdivision full of people who are now looking for places to recreate?

Dear editor, The safety shutdown of the Dayliner is as expected. Prior to establishing schedule changes from a tourist service to a commuter service, a stalling study had to be instigated.

Dear editor, Can someone please tell me why we have a party in the public debate whose sole purpose is to further the interests of Quebec and who is not represented nationally? Why is this allowed to continue?

Dear editor, It seems to me that anyone who has not been paying attention to the actions of the Conservative government or of the opposition parties in the past five years, really shouldn't be voting in the upcoming federal election.
