Mr. Crosbie's seal of approval
Although John Crosbie is no longer in politics, he still has that uncanny ability to ruffle a few feathers (Crosbie In And Out Of Sealskin For Royal Visit To St. John's - Nov. 5). We still remember upsetting the feminists with "quiet down baby" to a boisterous Sheila Copps in the Commons, and following it up in a speech in Victoria with, "Pass the tequila, Sheila, lay down and love me again."
The other Victoria wants in
I am disgusted and dismayed by the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Committee. I live in the small but beautiful Newfoundland and Labrador town of Victoria. We're a mere six kilometres from Carbonear, a town that will be blessed with a leg of the Torch Relay run. I've been trying to convince the Torch committee of the promotional potential of having the relay come to our lovely community of Victoria, too.

This choir ain't singin'
I feel sorry for those kids in the Newfoundland choir who had their Olympic hopes raised for the past two years, then dashed as a result of a "misunderstanding" between the choir's director, Brenda Jeddore, and B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell (Newfoundland Choir Girl Snubs B.C. Premier: 'We Were Raised To Believe We're Not Second Best - front page, Oct. 29).
