Letters

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 […]

It sure is a busy time of year, what wth christmas/holiday shopping and all, but that doesnt excuse rude and abusive behavior towards mall, department store or supermarket staff. I work cart return at a supermarket ( i wont say which one) and i have to say the staff is great, managment is great, and […]

To the editor, If you read some of the recent press coverage about CKDU-FM’s recent funding drive it would be easy to get think the station is made up of the paid staff and a bunch of volunteers. It would seem the volunteers do programs and the staff make decisions and are responsible for everything, […]

To the editor, Why, Fred, why? What’s with taking pot shots at another shopping district and commission as you set out to establish one for Agricola? (See Erin O’Halloran’s “Street smarts” article from last week’s issue.) What all districts and their mouthpiece commissions have in common is revitalizing, maintaining and growing in the face of […]

To the editor, I’ve just read last week’s letters. Ms. Davis took offense in “No good, Gus” because she thought the ad wasn’t funny, especially since it personally affected her. As someone who watched his vibrant grandmother die from Alzheimer’s, I’m familiar with what she’s gone through. I also see the early signs of it […]
