Deer, Deer, Deer--More From Readers


More letters from readers with a point of view. Keep on sending them so others can read what you have to say

1) We must demand that any solution to the Superior park deer migration be TUNNELLED.

As you have reported in the past, cattle, and by extension, all ungulates including deer, release vast quantities of methane into the atmosphere contributing heavily to global warming and poor air quality. If we lay down and accept the cheapest solution and allow animals to use "overpasses", we are putting the quality of life and respiratory health of our community at risk.

I understand that no technology currently exists to 'scrub" deer flatulence, but it may in the future, so we must demand that all wildlife "overpasses" be designed and built as tunnels, regardless of cost.

The picture on your blog should be a wake up call to all citizens! It is frightening to think of those gaseous deer emissions fouling the heart of our community. It is time we stand up for Windsor.

2) Tunnel through Ojibway:

Okay Ed, you had me going for awhile. As an Ojibway tree hugger I thought you were serious. But don't take too much credit. On April 1 years ago I believed a news story saying a roof would be put on Tiger Stadium.

An out of work auto engineer indeed! And your picture, likely from the Rockies was cute. What makes your put on so good is that, sadly, it contains more than a grain of truth.

3) ...out of work auto engineer? You mean there's more than one? Does he like to eat butter tarts?

4) I do not know if you attended to hear DesRosiers speak!! I enjoyed getting up at 5.00 am to arrive early before he kicked it off at 7.00am, funny as I arrived I was met by David Cassivi and his wife Susan what a nice surprise. Here he is a retired so to speak councillor came out to hear Dennis.

David Hall from the Windsor Star [came], "A" Channel, CBC Radio and TV he had the room full. a lot of students and people I did not not know

What happened to the members of City Council or a rep from the City, even the CAW's Gary Parent and Ken Lewenza failed to show, not even the Mayor or somebody from his office. It would have been nice to see even Dwight Duncan or Sandra Pupatello. Are they all afraid of the truth.

I found his speech very interesting and I learned a lot. he has no political ties he just tells it as it is. and Dennis is right unless we change our attitude and thinking in this City we lose. He said it all we have 8 players in the game now not just the Big 3. I was very impressed.

5) Just copied this from the CKLW site....

Expectations for hotel bookings in Windsor for this weekend's Wrestlemania are falling short. The Hilton Hotel on Riverside Drive says it has sold about 3 packages for the weekend when it was hoping to sell between 20 and 30. Hotel
Manager Saleem Jaka says it now is trying to sell the wrestlemania ticket at face value.

Here's some cannon fodder for your blog and the fact that our dynamic city fathers donated $65,000 to the cause yet decided to do nothing further with the Capitol Theatre.
