Letters, August 31
In this week's letters section, readers weigh in on various topics. One correspondent believes the recent U.S.-Canada trade negotiations were mishandled, with the Americans aggressively pushing for a one-sided deal. This author attributes Canada's willingness to make new requests to the Trump administration's propensity for stretching the truth and outright lies.
Another reader applauds the City of Winnipeg for its plans to enhance the Pan Am Pool facility, but expresses concern over the impending 16-to-18-month closure. This individual points out that many seniors attend exercise and fitness classes at the Pan Am Pool, and fears the closure will negatively impact their ability to maintain strength, mobility, and social connections.
A third letter addresses the emergency room and health-care bottlenecks, arguing that successive provincial and federal governments have ignored the predicted increase in older Canadians, leading to a lack of personal care homes, acute-care beds, and long wait times in urgent and emergency care. The author calls for alternative forms of community-based care and expresses frustration that Manitoba has failed to develop efficient and effective community-based care amidst a predicted bulge in older Canadians.
