Article content SUN DELIVERS Recommended Videos A shoutout to the unsung people in the newspaper industry: The delivery employee. They work through the early hours of the day, no matter the weather. My delivery person’s first name is Rajeevy.
She delivers the Sun paper early and it always lands right at my door. I don’t have to step outside if it is raining or snowing. Very much appreciated.
A great way to start the day reading the Sports section. Wayne Smith Scarborough (Thank you for sharing this with us. Our delivery team are the best) ELECTION TIME Many in the media are saying Justin Trudeau has a difficult decision to make: Should he stay on as leader or should he resign? I have a simple solution, call an election and Canadian voters will decide for you.
Chris Beuglet Mountain, Ont. (An election is the most elegant solution to Canada’s Trudeau problem) ELECTRICITY GRID GOALS Re “Canada pushes net-zero electricity target to 2050 as Alberta vows legal fight” (The Canadian Press, Dec. 17): It is discouraging that Canada is delaying its commitment to have a net-zero electricity grid.
As much as the federal government now claims otherwise, having a clean grid by 2035 was the goal. Shifting that commitment to 2050 is clearly moving in the wrong direction, given the increasing intensity of climate impacts. The federal and provincial governments are squabbling over petty jurisdictional questions when they should be collaborating.
Specifically, eliminating coal is not only helpful for the climate but also has dramatic benefits for human health. For example, Ontario essentially has no smog days since it stopped burning coal as well as seeing significant drops in childhood asthma. These are benefits that citizens of Alberta also deserve.
Its provincial government ought to be working with the federal government to eliminate burning coal for electricity. Helping the climate and improving the health of their citizens would be a clear win-win. Niall Whelan Toronto (Many important issues are taking a back seat to Trudeau’s drama).
