Letters, Sept. 12
An overreaction Re: Winnipeg teacher disciplined for ‘liking’ student’s post, Sept. 1. I’ve been stewing about the article for a few days and trying to decide what’s been bothering me. […]
The article collection for September 12 includes various topics.
First, a teacher's disciplinary action for liking a student's social media post has been discussed. The writer feels the school division overreacted and believes the teacher should only have been advised to avoid such interactions. The teacher seems responsible and law-abiding.
Next, the implementation of a geothermal system in a South Winnipeg neighbourhood is praised. The writer hopes affordable ground source heat pumps will be available. However, they note there is a lack of competition with only two manufacturers in eastern Canada. Additionally, they mention a 15% counter-tariff on U.S.-made heat pumps being ineffective in encouraging local manufacturing.
In another section, the writer reflects on the cost of bloodwork tests at Dynacare. They commend the service for its convenience, quick appointments, and friendly technicians. They also note the significant improvement in blood-collection services since Dynacare took over, despite the ongoing labour strife. The writer urges against discarding the improvements despite the current issues.
