Ticked Off

Enough already. Taxpayers have been subsidizin­g the energy sector for decades through tax breaks, royalty reductions, stimulus programs, direct investment and other job creation programs.

Regarding a recently published article that 1,500 persons submitted a petition to Ottawa in favour of procuremen­t and use of military gun weapons. Was there not a place in that petition to include those who would not be in favour?

That so many people are getting out and going for walks, bicycling, and enjoying the fresh air. Love the smiling faces and everyone saying

“hello” or “hi”.

I am ticked off with people that think they can stuff Styrofoam into the plastic recycling containers and break them up into small/tiny pieces, making them harder to remove. Please don’t contaminat­e the recycling bins. We run the risk of forfeiting the whole container of recycled items.

I am concerned with the second wave of Covid-19 happening. Yes the virus may well mutate. That presents a whole new problem. Sad to predict, that with everyone self-isolating, limited herd immunity is occurring. Will a new vaccine be needed every season?

How sweet it was to see a fire truck come into our neighbourh­ood for a little fella’s birthday. Not only did they have the lights going and sirens on, they actually sang “Happy Birthday” on the loud speaker. Love it. You made the little guy’s year and made my day from watching down the street. A little kindness goes a really long way right now. Be kind to one another and our days will be so much brighter.

Please grow up and kick your habit.
