St. Paul’s Hospital stood by its principles Re: “Woman with terminal cancer forced to transfer from hospital for assisted dying,” June 26.

This story gives a free platform to the assisted suicide group, Dying with Dignity, but no space to any pro-life organizations.

The Dying with Dignity bunch think St. Paul’s should do assisted suicide because it is “taxpayer-funded.” Well, it provides service for every dollar, but like other B.C. hospitals, it doesn’t do everything. Dying with Dignity admits the medical staff and hospital are protected by law and adds that only a court challenge can change that. Not actually. Why not go the democratic route and amend the law in Parliament?Showing compassion at end of life Re: “Woman with terminal cancer forced to transfer from hospital for assisted dying,” June 27.

Rather than supporting quality of life at such a critical time, the transfer appears to have profoundly undermined it. Irony and satire are well established rhetorical devices, whether verbal or written, and sarcasm is just a substitute used by those who don’t possess the wit for irony or satire.

This aims to address concerns of marginalized communities and ensure the well-being and rights of all students. Systemic discrimination occurs when the needs of marginalized students are ­overlooked in favour of majority opinions. Their primary role is to uphold the law. Decisions regarding attire, weapons and how they conduct themselves are determined by police departments, with no oversight from the district.

Yet it is considered worthy of a headline that our premier says that he actually intends to obey that law. Remarkable! At least once I’d like to see turnout numbers approaching 100 per cent in a riding such as that, just to get an idea of what’s really going on.Fountain not an issue, but what about artwork? I have been reading the letters regarding the possible removal of the fountain in Centennial Square and I have nothing to add to those comments.

Dr. Hoesung Lee, the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, points out that action by these stakeholders are essential but that waiting for them to act on their own will not get the job done. It pointed out that by acting together, individuals have the capacity to successfully push institutions into action.

Surely we can do better than incinerating this resource and creating more greenhouse gases. Perhaps we could consider an experiment where we use the biosolids on new forestry plantations.
