Letters to the Editor: College Protests and Global Inconsistencies

In a recent letter to the editor, Donald Moskowitz of Londonderry, N.H., raises questions about the selective nature of college protests across the United States. He points out that while many campuses erupted in protests against Israel's invasion of Gaza following the Hamas attack, similar outcries were absent regarding Iran's harsh crackdown on civilian uprisings, which resulted in thousands of deaths and imprisonments. Moskowitz also notes the lack of protests against the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including the destruction of cities and kidnapping of children. He suggests that some college students are discriminatory in their choice of causes to protest.

Another letter from Steve Peck of Brampton comments on the legacy of Mark Carney, stating that history will view him as more serious and globally consequential than Justin Trudeau, though whether his legacy will be principled and effective pragmatism remains uncertain.

Iwin Diamond of Downsview responds to a previous article about parking scams, suggesting that the old-fashioned coin system worked without issues and should be brought back, though he acknowledges the cost may be prohibitive.
