I thought I'd just try one big letter per year to air all of my complaints. I totally agree with the letter previously published referring to fluoride in our water. It appears that all is not well in your neighbourhood after all, Mr. Rogers. You are merely a representative of the people and not a dictator of this city.
Hopefully you saw what just happened in Egypt. I'd suggest that you listen to your people and let them choose whether or not they want to consume fluoride along with their tall glass of water.
I so wish that all of those isolated groups of people out there known as "special interest groups" will stop rearranging the furniture in the entire house (Canadian constitution) just to accommodate their own culture.
I'm so grateful that Canada allows us the freedom of diversity' but we still have to live here together.
Here's a long time peeve. It seems to me that whenever a robbery occurs in Prince George the description is as follows; male or female of such and such a height and build, last seen wearing a hoody. Hmm ... perhaps it would be easier then to just round up all of the hoody-clad, street wanderers especially after the midnight hour and lock 'em up before they commit the crime.
Speaking of wandering our streets. Aside from the snow removal and pot hole repairing maintenance, I wish that someone would update and synchronize the traffic lights around this town. For example, the miniscule traffic found on Queensway after about 9 p.m. hardly qualifies for a delayed red light to accommodate an extra turn signal, let alone to have a functioning traffic light there at all. It's more of an embarrassment than it is an inconvenience to have to wait at a red light at 2 a.m. just because somebody in city planning forgot to turn out the lights.
Mind you, while I'm sitting there waiting for the remote possibility of another automobile to enter the intersection, I can often spot one of those, you guessed it, someone in a hoody wandering the streets.
And one last beef. Please put an end to your bad-air, witch hunt, anti-wood stove program within the city of Prince George. You should all know darn well that you're barking up the wrong tree. I'll give you a hint, follow the trail of wood chips leading to several striped smokestacks and while you're there, have a chat with a few of the other establishments in that vicinity and you will have hit the jackpot. There now...I feel sooo much better, whether you publish it or not.
Gasp, I've been breathing your bad air and drinking your poisoned water for more than 28 years now.
