Re: “Fashion Streeter” (Feb. 11, page 11)
I don’t like when people only write when they have something bad to say, so I’m sorry. I’ll start by letting you know that I really enjoy reading The Uniter and I try to read it most weeks. more »

Re: Philosophy department at U of W
The only thing philosophy has given me (besides my Ph.D) is my extreme satisfaction with life – a life lived in greater freedom, freedom from the things that people often spend a lifetime on that, in the end, in most cases they find have been of little value. more »

Dear Uniter
There has been talk about a merging of the Philosophy, Classics and Religious Studies departments at the University of Winnipeg, though what is actually happening is little understood.

Re: “Re-thinking the anti-poverty strategy” by Gareth du Plooy (Oct. 29, page 9)
Unfortunately Mr. du Plooy fails to provide any “re-thinking” of an anti-poverty strategy in his article.

Re: “Better than composting?”
I would like to respond to the article “Better than composting?” published in the Sept. 24 issue of The Uniter (page 4), for which I was interviewed. As the project co-ordinator for Resource Conservation Manitoba’s Compost Action Project, I am familiar with many different methods of composting, although I have not had any experience with the Bokashi method and I don’t know anyone who has. more »

Re: “Eating on campus at the University of Winnipeg”
The article, “Eating on campus at the University of Winnipeg” from the Oct. 15 issue of The Uniter (page 15) proved that the author or self-appointed cafeteria food critic wouldn’t know good food if it ended up on his plate. more »
