Dear Ms. Lowe, Thank you for crucifying (sorry, that’s probably not PC) the legislation of Christmas by Oxford Town Council (“Out on a limb,” Dec 8). My sister and I are Oxford natives, and have never been so ashamed of it as we have this past month. We’ve been ashamed of Oxford frequently, but this […]

To the editor, I am writing in support of Jane Kansas’s article (“Who’s your daddy?” Dec 1). I, like the authors of your letters to the editor from Dec 8, regard charitable work as very important, and I realize that many people concern themselves with the charitable work of the Christmas Daddies organization and not […]

To the editor, I don’t understand why the Top Ten Video Games (“Ten to One,” Dec 8) list reads like something out of the Herald!! Argh! I couldn’t believe it! Zelda, Resident Evil, Civ 4, sure, totally mainstream—but still totally worthy. But The Coast values substance over flash, doesn’t it? So what’s up with Smackdown […]

To the editor, Bruce Wark’s personal plight aside—and Bruce, that’s all you seem to editorialize on these days, rather than relevant issues for the common good—(“To serve and protect,” Dec 8) the federal election is coming in just over one month and now is the time to educate yourselves. There is little to no chance […]

December 14, 2005 Dear Everyone: We regret to inform you that the recently available position of NSCAD President has just been filled, by The Bench Society. As of the abandonment of the school by the current president, Paul Greenhalgh, the role of president has been bestowed upon us, by each other, at an undisclosed location […]

To the editor, I was saddened this morning to read about the impending fall of the federal government and the upcoming elections occuring this January. As a left-leaning liberal I was extremely dismayed with the conduct revealed in the Gomery report; however, it was clear relatively few Liberal party mem- bers were involved. I think […]

To the editor, Jane is just plain boring when she writes her own crap like this article over the use of “Daddies” in a name instead of another title. Get a life, Jane; better yet, get into the Christmas spirit and stop being petty while letting Christmas Daddies do the good work they’ve done year […]

To the editor, Jane Kansas thinks the name of the regional CTV charity show Christmas Daddies sucks because it is an expression of “sexist, exclusive language.” There is a reason that Ms. Kansas is the only one to ever complain in public regarding the telethon’s name: Everyone else has the common sense not to take […]

To the editor, I think your article about Christmas Daddies is disgusting (“Who’s your daddy?” Dec 1). Clearly a couple of MEN got together and created a really great charity benefiting many people for over 40 years. Hell, why don’t we change the name “Christmas” while we’re at it? This argument over the name is petty […]
