To the Editor,

Encampments do not appear to be a sustainable way to keep the issues in the public eye through the media.
I propose inviting others to write letters to the editor and maintaining some belief that your...

Dear Editor;
Recently I came across the Boundary Sentinel editorial entitled Beating a Dead Borsht. As a proud Canadian Doukhobor (not Russian as the editorial implies Doukhobors to be), I was offended by the tone of the editorial with respect to Doukhobors.
First, I was not able to detect what positive result your editoiral writer hoped to achieve.by indulging in juvenile...

Dear Mr. Baird;
We are writing to express our surprise and dismay at being left off of the voters' list for the upcoming fire protection referendum to be held in Rock Creek.
Unfortunately we were not able to attend the public meeting held to clarify the issue. However, we have kept abreast of the issue with great interest.
The Boundary Creek Times reported on the meeting and...

Canadians across the country are mobilizing to oppose the rushed passage of the Omnibus Crime Bill. If passed, Bill C-10 would shift Canada to a cruel, costly and failed fill-the-prisons approach to justice. The 150+ cross-country actions at MP’s constituency offices are focused on Thursday at 1PM, with some taking place throughout the day and Friday.
Canadians will be arriving...

Teachers understand that parents are concerned about their child’s education and have structured phase one so that students are the focus. Much of the...

To the Editor;
Shaun Eadie and Brian Thomas, a gay couple, wanted to spend the night at a bed and breakfast in Grand Forks which turned out to be run by a Christian couple. When the Christians refused, Eadie and Thomas sued.
But why would Eadie and Thomas even want to stay in a devoutly Christian household? Would they be suing if it had turned out to be a Muslim couple? Rights...

To the Editor;
While paying Boss Power resolves a lot of problems,it is a very sad state of affairs and I can only hope that the both the government of B.C. and the federal government will learn from this so that all is not lost.
My comments in this regard are:
1. No government should ever convey the rights to their natural resources to any private enterprise without...

Minister Rich Coleman and Premier Christy Clark have not learned a thing. Even though the government spent millions on ads (that did not make sense by the way) the people did not support the harmonized sales tax. I only hope that this smart meter initiative will have the same fate.
These meters will not save energy, as we still have to cook supper on the stove,...
