Canadian democracy is not a matter of fairness. Since European invasion, Canada has had 200 years of colonial autocracy, then 50 years of elections without votes for women, and an additional 50 years without votes for Indigenous people. In every form democracy has taken since Confederation, it has been used to defend the interests of capital – the ultra-rich – over that of Indigenous people...

The reaction from electoral reform opponents to last week's report by Attorney General David Eby was as swift as predictable: “The deck is stacked!” and “it's too complicated!” But is that really true? We find it normal that governments make many important decisions without holding a referendum, but now that we, the voters get to make the...

We are in opposition to N.W. Mtn. Experience - File# 4405891 and Retallack - File# 4405893 proposed for the St. Mary Valley. Applications such as these are rushed through the system, with no careful consideration of the short or long term implications.
Both proposals fall into the no aerial traffic/ limited development zone defined...

Dear Editor
When driving into Trail from Columbia Gardens/Waneta I am always awed at the beautiful Rossland Range. Normally, I don’t think much beyond the view, except to note the increasing white patches (clear cuts) on the landscape.
Recently, I learned that Red Mountain Resorts was approved by Rossland City Council, to build 10 cabins near Paradise Lodge on...

I would like to respond to this proposal for recreational use of a large area of wilderness, south of the Purcell Wilderness Area.
The impacts of this proposal need to be carefully considered. Our Crown land is a Public Trust that requires care and respect for all living things and future generations as well. This proposal would see...

To The Editor:
I was appalled to hear that the Prime Minister intends to provide a Texas extraction company with billions of tax dollars to foist their dirty pipeline on a reluctant province.
First of all, the Trudeau government has no such mandate. This government pledged to be a proactive partner in the fight against climate change and to engage in...

To The Editor:
I find it very disgusting that big business continues to manipulate public opinion with there ill gotten fortunes.
Newspaper, T.V., social media campaigns, are easy for these mega rich companies; and used to manipulate the general public. Health Care is particularly vulnerable to uncompassionate corporations who profit ammensley on the...
