The Editor, Re. "Wake up to plight of your neighbours" (Letters, The Tri-City News, July 17).

Idon't much like the term "anti-gentrification." I think we should call it what it really is: anti-development, anti-improvement, anti-betterment and anti-capitalism.

The Editor, Re. "Zap! Get ready for BC Hydro rate hikes" (BC Views, The Tri-City News, July 10).

The Editor, Re. "PoMo park pay parking?" (The Tri-City News, July 12). As a Coquitlam resident, I would implore Port Moody's mayor and council to reconsider charging non-residents to park at Rocky Point Park.

Whether people own goldfish, cats or parakeets, many derive an intense amount of joy from having pets in their lives. Dogs are no exception but some of man's best friends get a harder time than others.

Premier Christy Clark didn't win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow BC Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up. By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections B.C.

The Editor, Re. "'They have killed it,' says shelter backer" (The Tri-City News, July 10). This is complete and utter BS.

Earlier this week, Coquitlam city council voted to waste taxpayer money yet again.
