It was nice to see opposing views side-by-side on the Arlington Drive issue. I live on Akins Drive and I would like to assure Genevieve McNab that there are not any mansions in this area. There is a need for low-income housing.

A few things struck me at the public hearing on Monday, March 15. None of the speakers in favour of the project live anywhere near it. It is easy to be in favour of something that costs you nothing.

With reference to Bob Russell’s letter of March 13 concerning Omar Khadr, I did not say that I condoned the apparent “torture administered to this young Canadian.

So Ed Stelmach is taking the position that every citizen, so long as they meet residency and citizenship requirements, is entitled to vote. I disagree.

Letter writers Liz Semmens and Aron VanDelft have a skewed view of why there is opposition to rezoning 70 Arlington Drive and developing it with Apollo Homes and Habitat for Humanity.

I have been following the discussions about the new Habitat development in our community. My wife and I both disagree with this project.

Re: “Omar Kadr is a traitor,” March 6 Norm Harley’s letter demanding that Omar Khadr remain at Guantanamo and be tried by the U.S.
