Re: Election Campaign is Hardly Inspiring

The overdose observed by a father and his child was very difficult for them to witness. (See story, page 3.) The fact is however, that this shooting up in our downtown is an everyday occurrence and this behavior is witnessed by the RCMP regularly.

Sometimes something unexpectedly wonderful happens that affects us profoundly. We want to share with everyone such an occasion when we were the beneficiaries of a Good Samaritan. On April 11th we discovered that we had a bulge in our left front tire and were advised to take the vehicle to OK Tire. Upon further re-examination by Paul, it was determined that the back tire (driver side) also had a bulge. We arranged to have the tires replaced the following day.

On April 21 and 22, the Chilliwack BC Registered Music Teachers Association hosted world famous composer Christopher Norton from the UK.

The National Energy Board (NEB) released its project recommendation report for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project nearly one year ago. It was approved by the Government of Canada on November 29th, 2016, subject to 157 conditions imposed by the NEB.

It didn’t take but a few short hours to flush our MP Mark Strahl out to attend himself to the human tragedy playing out in the alleys and parks of our fair city of Chilliwack because of the scourge of drug consumption here.

Clint Hames’ opinion piece “ Time to demand more from political candidates ,” really hit home with me. I think we should demand that the B.C. government finance our new infrastructure projects using money borrowed from the Bank of Canada.

I note in your April 12 edition that in the listings of the “all candidates meetings” only two are available to people who work days and even the two in the evening are on a weeknight which excludes those who, like my daughter and son-in-law work too early to be able to attend.
