Harper still can't be trusted
The real cliffhanger of a vote was not the one that took place yesterday and returned the Liberals to Victoria. It is the one that will take place in the House of Commons tomorrow. It has been made even more riveting now that Belinda Stronach has jumped off the Tory ship and landed in the Liberal cabinet.
 

Dearth of oil would take lustre off Golden Decade
My deadline compels me to write this hours before the polls close but I'm assuming the Liberals are forming government again. Welcome to the Golden Decade.

Mr. McBinner quite a bard
Re: "The binner boom," May 4.
 

Wal-Mart an improvement
I find it rather amusing that anyone who shops on Fraser Street would feel Wal-Mart was going to lower those stores' businesses. I think the trees, the tables and sandwich boards do more to lower business.
 

Campbell deserving of medals
Thank you Geoff Olson for your splendid depiction of Premier Campbell as "A Man and His Medals" (May 8).
 

We need commentary like Olson's
James A. Craig ("Olson's pope commentary out of line," Letters, May 11) reproaches Geoff Olson for not following (in his commentary on the late pope) the saying, "If you can't say anything nice about a person, don't say it_ perhaps it [this adage ] is not one practised in the journalism trade."
 

Putting Lorne on cover thoughtless
I find it disturbing that one of our local newspapers would feature a candidate in the election on the cover days before the election.
