Letters: Readers discuss transit, public safety, politics and CFL

Readers write about a new Archibald bus route and the benefits they find in taking transit, and several letters describe patterns of repeat serious offending and concerns about bail and supervision, while other notes touch on political issues and CFL rule changes.

Several letters published Jan. 21 share local viewpoints on transit, public safety, politics and sport. Writers describe personal experiences or reactions to recent reporting and policy discussions. The letters range from practical observations about a new bus route to reflections on repeat offending patterns, industry shifts and rule changes in Canadian football. Key points: - A reader says the new bus route along Archibald shortens travel time from Island Lakes to downtown and offers quieter, more relaxed travel and broader social contact. - One letter argues that proposed activity related to Sio Silica raises risks to drinking water and that a recent commentary did not acknowledge those risks. - Several readers raised concerns about repeat serious offending, noting prior violence, weapons involvement and breaches of court orders, and questioned how bail and supervision are managed. - A reader expressed concern about foreign interest in Greenland and potential implications for European and Scandinavian security, presented as a personal viewpoint. - A neighbour’s explanation of CFL rule changes noted a shorter field and a 35-second play clock, and suggested those changes could increase plays and scoring under the new rules. Summary: The letters present a mix of local, regional and national concerns, from concrete transit improvements to questions about public safety procedures, industry competitiveness and rule changes in sport.
