Letter of the week

To the editor: Re: "Joint venture," 12th & Cambie, Sept. 28. The vote by B.C. municipal leaders to decriminalize marijuana is a step in the right direction. There is a big difference between condoning marijuana use and protecting children from drugs.

Forget permits-just get out your fiddle

To the editor: Re: "Letter of the Week," Sept. 21. Paul Richards is right. As a lifelong resident (since the 1950s) of Vancouver, I also have observed the city incrementally conform to the point of oppression.

Winning-at-all-costs notion of success failing middle class

More peacemakers, healers needed
