Dear Editor;
Re: Global Warming rivals Sponsorship Scandal
Your article underscores the importance, in my view, of ensuring that rigorous academic principles be maintained when politics and government become involved with scientific endeavour.

Let’s get this straight. The McGuinty crew is headed for a minority
government . But it is not because the Tories are chewing on the Liberal leg. McGuinty’s growing nemesis is on the left.
The latest polls shows the Greens and the NDP making gains and the Tories treading water. Even in 905 country the Conservatives are [...]

RE “The Bad Boy Budget.” (Aug. 14):
Mel Lastman is full of bright ideas for solving Toronto’s financial problems now that he doesn’t have to implement them. When Lastman was Toronto’s mayor, or, as Mississauga’s Mayor Hazel McCallion called him, jokester, he was so busy chasing the Olympics and [...]
