Re: Gary Lunn nostalgia strikes PNR reader (Letters March 30)
With all respect to the writer’s valid analysis, I’d like to comment on a number of points he made.
Not all constituents hold economic success as the only marker of a government’s performance.
The Wi-Fi and smart meters are issues that may affect all of us, Greens or not.
The moratorium on oil tanker transport must remain in place, again, not only for May’s constituents’ benefit.
The Green Party views are largely respected and demand a growing audience in this country, although small in comparison to other countries.
Every party should have their ideology as a priority.
It is unfortunate that May and her Green Party have done nothing for your family, Mr. Houle. It has done a lot for my family and for many other people I know. I care less about the McTavish Road intersection and how fast I can get to the ferry – “creative overpass” has a different meaning for me – than what’s in my food, my air, my water.
One more thing: can you tell us please, how can May achieve a portfolio in the present federal government?
There isn’t much wrong with May’s performance, considering her lonely voice in the Parliament. I think there is a lot wrong with priorities that lack vision, and complacency that allows our governments to do anything they like, in the name of perpetual economic growth. If economic growth is your only measure, please think that through to the end.
