Letter to the Editor: City Taxes It is discouraging to hear our city leaders suggest that the salvation to our tax problems might be to encourage a casino in the heart of our city. Title of painting above: “A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes” (Gandhi) It wasn’t that long ago that the Royal Canadian airforce used to bomb pods of whales simply for target practice.
I can’t imagine a more stupid mistake than that being made by Peter MacKay, Canada’s current defense minister as he blunders into the civil war in Libya. Much has been said about the need for change in the middle east. And change has started thanks to the young people there. It has taken great courage and sacrifice to stand up and demand change. They could lose everything and some have done just that by losing their life. |
