Be thankful for Charter clause

Re: 鈥淭aking a look at the Charter,鈥 editorial, Sept. 26. The editorial makes the point that there 鈥渋s no point of certainty here.鈥 If it is referring to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it is very certain.

Re: 鈥淎unt鈥檚 $250K gift to fight ovarian cancer,鈥 Sept. 26. I saw the article on ovarian cancer and the kind donation made to ovarian-cancer research by Patty Pitts. The outlook for ovarian-cancer research needs to improve, Pitts says. How true.

Just laugh at the聽mean comments

Re: 鈥淓cho chamber of hate,鈥 editorial, Sept. 25. No one forces you to read the comments. I should know. With a social media following of my own, I receive a torrent of crude comments and uninvited messages each and every day.

Campers could move to a cheaper city

Re: 鈥淐ampers get reprieve at Goldstream,鈥 Sept. 21. I have to ask: What is keeping the homeless in unaffordable, nowhere-to-rent Victoria? It鈥檚 certainly not their jobs holding them here (although there are many available).

Saanich slate wants to聽benefit all residents

Re: 鈥淏eware the slate running in Saanich,鈥 letter, Sept. 23. Slates are nothing new. Former Saanich mayor Frank Leonard ran a type of slate. Go back and look at the 2014 election pictures.
