As we began a new year of news coverage, the Courier recognizes the important contributions of readers who expressed their opinions on our letters page in 2008.
To the editor:
Re: "Parks board sends chainsaws to QE Park," July 9.
Only in Vancouver could a body elected to preserve and protect our parks vote to cut down 70 living healthy trees and then vote to protect one dead stump.

And only in Vancouver could a Parks Board member work actively to cut the heart of a very public park to save the edges of a very private golf course.
Luckily for us, that member is now gone and you, Mr. McKinnon, are there instead.
Good luck!

I'm sorry I voted for you. Your misplaced ecofundamentalism is undermining the Hollow Tree and its value in Stanley Park as a a National Historic Site.
It is hard to figure out how wanting a dead tree to decompose naturally is 'eco-fundamentalism' but we are all entitled to our opinions and hyperbole.
Great letter, Stuart!
