A recent letter to the editor suggested another round of talks with Canada Post is going down the drain, and taxpayers are going to be held hostage again. This led me to believe many people are failing to grasp the key issues. Canadians deserve stable, reliable work. A shift to weekend delivery, as proposed by Canada Post, will result in substantial job losses for postal workers. Hiring more part-time and contract workers instead of full-timers will only create more precarious jobs.

Re: Why is 68% of public housing in ‘poor’ condition (May 29). Because the city spent $180 million on bike lanes, that’s why. There is no sense of priority at any level of Canadian governments.

Once again, I feel obligated to comment on the huge waste of our tax dollars that went into creating the hazardous, completely unused bike lanes along Colborne Street from King to Oxford streets. Who configured this plan to ruin safe, viable streets? I travel Colborne Street frequently and have never seen the bike lanes used in a way to justify the money spent building them. The turning lanes along Colborne Street are hazardous, as are left and right turns from Oxford Street.
