Belaboured

Re "Make Britain great again? Keir Starmer is making Britain depressed" (Editorial, Oct. 4): It was difficult reading past the opening sentence's reference to Labour's "smashing election victory" in the recent British election. In fact, Labour won half a million fewer votes than in the 2019 election.

What really changed? Conservative voters migrated to Nigel Farage's Reform UK party, making it the third-ranking party with 14 per cent of the popular vote but only 1 per cent of the seats.

This left enough Conservative ridings exposed to give Labour 411 seats in the new Parliament, 209 more than it had in 2019. So much for first-past-the-post politics.

Despite appearances, the lack of a clear electoral mandate has left Brits in a desultory mood as they await Labour's Oct. 30 budget.

Come together

Re "The NDP could take second place in the next election, which might be a mixed blessing" (Oct. 8): If ever there was a time for the NDP and Liberals to stow their pride and amalgamate, this should be it.

A single left-of-centre party can compete with the runaway populist Conservative Party (and even then it would be a close race). In the interests of the nation, a runaway Pierre Poilievre should be stopped at all costs.

If two parties have to merge to achieve that, then so be it. Their policies are not so far apart these days.

As for who should lead that new party, that is not so obvious. People hate Justin Trudeau, and have lost confidence in a flip-flopping Jagmeet Singh. Mélanie Joly, perhaps?

Fairness first

Re "Indigenous women from Ecuador urge Ottawa to halt free-trade agreement, raise objections over mining" (Oct. 5): Ecuador is confronting serious levels of corruption and violence.

Past history around the world features governments conniving with mining companies, frequent sidelining of the interests of Indigenous groups and a general misunderstanding of negative economic effects on a host country. Can Canada become a pioneer of well-managed mining abroad?

Bringing both socially and economically good outcomes is rare in an industry that too often features big profit for a few and lack of concern for many, especially in a context of corruption and violence. Ethical corporations can easily be outcompeted by those willing to bribe officials or mistreat local people. But hopefully some countries may be interested in those that behave better.

As a potential monitor, Global Affairs Canada should understand how mining can hurt Indigenous groups. Our own experience has taught us a good deal about how collaboration can resolve the challenges.

Bridge too far

Re " 'Hype' meets reality as Canada's plans to export hydrogen to Germany stall" (Report on Business, Oct. 7): One nugget that surely exemplifies government's fiscal problems: Canada and the European Union are throwing $300-million each to bridge the difference between production costs and the market's willingness to pay that price.

What type of analysis has been done by these governments that shows the price differential will be overcome by the market and not result in continuing subsidies? Or is it the usual short-term thinking that the long term will look after itself?

Data disadvantages

Re "An Unhealthy Debate: A dearth of data to diagnose health care's ills" (Editorial, Oct. 7): Valid and reliable metrics are valuable tools to measure performance for any organization or sector. The challenge is to choose the most useful and important metrics.

Any metric related to the number of doctors and nurses or expenditures for "health care" are important resourcing metrics. Data related to hospital wait times can be a useful operational resource.

While resourcing and operational metrics can provide useful information, we should remember they are largely measuring performance in supply management. They do not provide especially useful strategic data related to the health of Canadians, which is a critical demand management issue contributing to the imbalance between demand and supply for medical care.

Chris Crapper Vancouver

Anyone who has had an encounter with Canada's health system these days has seen firsthand how inadequate funding has eroded care. Reports from family and friends about what they have experienced are often shocking. But anecdotal evidence is usually not enough to move politicians to act.

Collecting data from Canadian hospitals is no easy task. It's one more job imposed on overworked and overwhelmed health care workers. But most health care centres are now doing it with increasing efficiency and resolve, understanding the importance of data for informing policy and decision-making.

Data is power. Especially when it is trusted, transparent and easily put into the hands of advocates and decision makers. The Canadian Institute for Health Information is integral to Canadians' continuing fight for the world-class health care system we deserve and once knew.

Red card

Re "Inter Miami prepares for a shot at MLS history while Toronto FC playoff hopes die" (Sports, Oct. 7): Saturday's Toronto FC match was certainly filled with drama, excitement and unfortunately bad behaviour by a few fans.

As a long-time TFC season ticket holder, it has been a difficult season watching the team slide down the standings while our two highly overpaid players have negligible impact on the team - unlike Inter Miami. But it was exciting to see the lineup of hardworking "non-star" players led by Jonathan Osorio and Richie Laryea keep Miami at bay for most of the game.

What upset me about this article was the choice of photo. Let's not encourage people, of any age, to run onto the field. Let's not glorify their actions by including their photo in a newspaper.

The P-word

Re "A year after October 7: Grief, fear and uncertainty" (Editorial, Oct. 7): Twenty years ago, I sat in a graduation ceremony in Chicago for my doctor of ministry degree. Often on these occasions, one would expect a long, drawn-out address to be unfurled.

To my surprise, the dean stood and simply said these words to the graduates: "Peace is possible! Peace is possible!" and sat down.

The auditorium was silenced. I have heard several convocation speeches and delivered two. This was the most impactful and most memorable by far. Columnist Marsha Lederman is correct: There are no words to describe the past year, but we must speak, write and talk to ensure a hope for peace.

Silence is complicity. We can do better. Peace is possible!
