April 12: ‘How many promises can the Prime Minister make … before Canada becomes known for all talk and no action.’ Stuck in Afghanistan, plus other letters to the editor
: For decades, Canadians have been sending their tax dollars to Nova Scotia in the form of equalization payments; their children to universities in the province, employing hundreds of Nova Scotians and filling thousands of rental rooms; their tourist dollars to vacation there.

Education didn’t work then, hasn’t worked since and won’t work in the future.

Canmore should forever stand as a warning to concerned locals about what happens when heedless provincial politicians and greedy developers turn a sleepy little town into a playground for the rich and playful.Letters to the Editor should be exclusive to The Globe and Mail.
