Letters April 20: B.C. should focus on opioids, not just COVID; premier must save old growth

In the first eight months of 2020, more people died from overdoses than from COVID-19. Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, opioid deaths have been trending upward. And yet our government of British Columbia has continued to solely focus on COVID cases and COVID deaths, ignoring those suffering from substance-use disease. Their lives are/were important too. Elliot’s life mattered.
In June 2019, Elliot’s family endured a coroner’s inquest over his death, in hopes of gaining insights into how his illness was allowed to progress without the proper supports and interventions from medical practitioners and government agencies.

Letters Feb. 20: Clarity on Games bid; costs of cancel culture; Galloping Goose traffic

There must also be a rigorous business plan made public and critiqued by an independent third party.
That didn’t happen a few years ago when a Commonwealth Games bid was floated, rather initial support was garnered in secret around the Capital Regional District table and endorsed without the public weighing in. The province wisely declined to provide financial support and eventually the bid fell apart.

The pandemic, and now uncertainty around several COVID-19 variants, have resulted in extremely challenging and uncertain economic times with many critical and competing priorities. All of us will indirectly pay through taxes as residents of B.C. and Canada. ....

The Grumpy Taxpayer$ are raising concerns about having to go in person to see the documents during a pandemic, and have filed the complaint.
Stan Bartlett, former chair of the Grumpy Taxpayer$, said the city’s decision not to share the documents online is consistent “with a general lack of transparency in Langford.” ....

Letters Jan. 9: Victoria councillor's travel; a kindness as 2020 ended

Is the federal taxpayer paying for the hotel costs, food and incidents while he’s holed up in a Vancouver hotel in quarantine for two weeks? What does the civic political party Together Party says about the issue?
How does the Metchosin councillor justify abandoning her post during the most serious crisis in generations while residents and businesses are under extreme pressure? How were residents able to contact her during this period of time? Does she think her council job is unimportant?
