Canada Post is being shortsighted

To the editor:

Re: 'Loss of local Canada Post outlets sparks community meeting,' News, March 11.

Thank you for having a wonderful article, written by Joanna Lavoie, printed to bring public attention in regards to local post office closures.

I just wanted to say that NDP leader and...

Let's all be more tolerant

Re: 'Why do Torontonians need to put dogs before other people?' Letter, March 5.

To the Editor:

I find unfortunate the level of intolerance (of the letter writer) for dogs and I suspect their owners.

First of all, there are currently almost no off-leash parks in Etobicoke. The...

World would be a better place if more people had a dog

To the editor:

Re: 'Why do Torontonians need to put dogs before other people,' Letters, March 5.

I am a dog owner and I also run a pet services company and the most giving and kindest people I know are pet owners.

Back in the day when you put your dog in the backyard and walked them...

Public complaints may be the best way to fight parking tickets

To the editor:

Re: 'Parking tickets a nasty tax grab,' Letters, March 5.

I had an experience almost identical to that of letter writer D. Slotnick.

A Toronto police officer issued a parking ticket while I sitting in my car waiting to pick up my wife from church. The service was...

Dogs are part of community

Re: 'Pets take precedence over people in parks,' Letter, March 11

To the editor:

I understand that some people are afraid of dogs, but the vitriol against dogs and their owners is irrational and unfair.

Dogs are a part of city life. An estimated 300,000 dogs are in Toronto...

Dogs make people more sociable

To the editor:

Re: 'Why do Torontonians need to put dogs before other people?' Letters, March 5.

As a former dog owner and dog lover, I feel I must enter this discussion.

After reading Carey Morgan's letter about a cure for 'dogitis', I wonder if she has statistics to...

Dog owners an easy target

To the editor:

Re: 'Why do Torontonians need to put dogs before people?' Letter, March 5

Carey Morgan writes an eloquent letter about the disapproval of the establishment of leash free parks in his area. Although I agree with him that some irresponsible dog owners do not pick up after...

TTC needs to work with the community

To the editor:

Re: 'LRT must heed lessons of St. Clair,' Letter, Feb. 25.

Councillor Ceasar Palacio's letter (Feb. 25) on LRT on St. Clair is insightful.

Unfortunately, the TTC view all those affected by their proposals as narrow-minded idiots rather than multi-talented people...

Better use for funds than public toilets

To the editor:

Re: 'City funds toilets at new cricket pitch,' article Friday Feb. 25

Once again, another fine example of 'tax and waste' by the brain trust at city hall.

On Jan. 1, water rates climbed again for city of Toronto ratepayers, climbing another 10 per cent.

Scarborough resident thanks TTC drivers

To the editor:

I used the Toronto Transit Commission extensively before my retirement in 1990 and infrequently since until recently.

I remember one driver who used to entertain us all the way up Birchmount Road each evening and got us home in a great frame of mind.

In the last year or so...

Wanted: a cure for 'dogitis'

To the editor:

Recently I attended a meeting for the public to express their views on unleashed areas in parks for dogs and was amazed at how many people in Toronto suffer from 'dogitis'.

What is dogitis? Dogitis is an affliction that people suffer that puts dogs above people.

If...

To the editor:

'Will Mammoliti stick with mayoral bid?,' Friday File, Feb. 26.

My name is Edith George and I have lived in Ward 7 for more than 40 years.

While reading Lisa Queen's article, I was surprised and delighted to be mentioned by Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti as a...

Entitlement displayed in recent letter

To the editor:

Re: 'Parking enforcement officer out of line,' Letters, Feb. 26.

I was astounded at the sense of entitlement displayed by David Slotnick in his response to getting a ticket for illegal parking.

Despite a plethora of signs in the area prohibiting parking, stopping...
