MOISE WITH NOTHING BUT TIME

Re “What’s in a name?” (Justin Holmes, June 16): Chris Moise must have a lot of time on his hands. Maybe his ward doesn’t really need a councillor as he seems to spend a good deal of time renaming things. Does he not have other important issues to tend to?

(Good question – other than obsessing about this, what has Moise done to contribute to the improvement of our city?)

WAR TORN

I was born at the beginning of the Second World War and since that time there’s been continual wars with billions of dollars spent for weapons and millions of people killed. Sadly, today’s drones and supersonic missiles make a nation’s soldiers and its citizens no more than fodder during a war. It’s an unending story for mankind who after gaining technical knowledge uses it for warring rather than people’s betterment. Today, with war in Ukraine and the Middle East, one wonders when the hell will mankind ever learn.

HAHN A BLEEDING SCAB

Re “CUPE Ontario embraces madness with pro-Iranian protest” (Warren Kinsella, June 17): Totalitarian, murderous regimes do not now, or ever, deserve the support of rank-and-file Canadians or their enforced ‘support’ through our public unions: Full opt-out rights should be made available to all CUPE locals in Ontario. Fred Hahn is like a bleeding scab on the wound to the quality, coherence and integrity of our society, creating deep divisions and infecting a deep wound by now that CUPE Ontario has chosen to chronically reopen. Hahn does not in any way represent Canada’s best values or advance workers fundamental rights or improve working conditions here. CUPE Ontario locals should receive materials to allow them to vote to disassociate — through members’ free, democratic, unpressured secret-ballots — from this fascistic, grown-toxic, spoiled-rotten public service union. It is an embarrassment to thinking Ontarians.

(Hahn appears to be quite comfortable with these insane positions because his membership isn’t doing anything about it)
