Letters Aug. 10: Can't get a ferry reservation; substandard care for heart-attack patients; what is causing our hot summer
Our health superiority is a fabrication Re: “People suffering heart attack up-Island are getting substandard care: doctor,” August 8.
This propaganda is rubbish and there is not a shred of evidence to support such a fabrication. But Canadians still accept this? And Health Minister Adrian Dix, who is responsible for overseeing the college, has done less than nothing. I believe this illustrates the incompetence, ego, and hubris of the college and the health minister.
A screaming headline like this must warm the hearts of the climate alarmist community. Finally, they think: even those pesky climate “deniers” will have to admit it’s time to dismantle carbon-based Western civilization and move on from, as columnist Trevor Hancock puts it in the same issue, a “consumer” to a “conserver” society.
Also, in a kind of “perfect storm,” 2023 is going to be a large El Niño year, which means added warmth. It is vital that we have a government determined to address climate change as one of the principal contributors to several of our ills, and a factor that, if left unaddressed before the harms run away on us, will render nearly all social injustices incurable.We should openly support and vote for them. At least it should scare their rivals into moving to the firmer action we desperately and urgently need.
Increasing demand for transportation options on Vancouver Island has never been higher. A hydrogen powered passenger rail service would complement the new fast catamaran ferry service in Nanaimo as well as B.C. Ferries and island airports. For instance, it is devastating when your leg is amputated. It is devastating for parents to lose their young adult children who were heroically fighting wildfires. It is devastating when you can’t find an organ donor for yourself or a beloved family member or friend.
I wonder if our seniors’ organizations have thought of marketing the use of applicable non-invasive electronic tracking devices to help.Qualicum Beach
