Dear editor:

It was encouraging to read Peter Rand’s letter to you in the Jan. 29 edition regarding the negativity of Garth Turner’s columns (“Letter: A lot of positive things are happening, too“).

His “opinion” is not indicative to many of the residents living in NOTL. Spewing “snarky” remarks every week does not take talent nor intelligence.

His obsession with the Shaw and the real estate market is not only repetitive — it’s downright boring.

Surely you can find someone new to write “opinion” pieces — hopefully opinions that are not peppered, week after week, with myopic political views and nasty subjective angles that only serve his own ego.

He’s been given a forum for far too long.
