Please let people be aware there is a cougar at the Terwillegar dog park.

I know this is not particularly unusual as they do inhabit the river valley, but it crossed my path about 20 metres away on Friday at 8 a.m. This was on the multi-use bike path not five minutes from the parking lot.

I did let Fish and Wildlife know but never heard back from them.

I thank my lucky stars that I just happened to have my dog on leash that morning due to the rain as he would have tried to go after it and my dog would have been toast.

Kenney’s ideas are Dickensian

Re. “Quick laws and freezing wages; Jason Kenney outlines his plans for power,” Oct. 15

It is so obvious where Jason Kenney gets his policy ideas from — right out of the Dickens novel, A Christmas Carol.

This novel should be a must-read for students. It tells of differences between what moneyed people think and what poorer people had to put up with many years ago. Kenney wants to go back to the days when workers were forced to work 18 hours a day, with wages that hardly kept them living, and no dissent whatsoever.
