Air war goes on
BY
Many of us have not given up the job of closing the airport (“Secret airport love,” The Devil is in the Details, Sept. 18). The airport and Port Authority have cost the taxpayers of Toronto and Canada over $150 million dollars! You think the service is good now, wait till Porter adds 14 more planes to its fleet. The two-year-old ferry is already jammed and Porter wants the Port Authority to buy another new ferry using taxpayers’ money. The mess can’t die soon enough. It is time to stop the noise and air pollution. ARNIE (VIA EYEWEEKLY.COM)
You’d have to be a bit of a twit to not love the island airport. Compared to Pearson, it’s incredibly easy to access, fast and quaint. LOVE the little ferry ride. Unless, of course, you live on one of the islands, which is an opportunity open to perhaps .001 per cent of Torontonians. Yes, I am sure that planes are not particularly good for the environment, but while they’re still around, I would prefer to have the island experience, rather than the Pearson experience.

MTV IS SO HARDCORE
Not only is Brian Joseph Davis’ review of Radio Silence (Books, Sept. 18) terrible, but it is poorly researched. “In the 1980s, MTV was as bad as the Klan / Never played black artists, let alone hardcore bands” The video for “All Twisted” by Kraut would get played on MTV. Also, if you had done any research you would have noticed that the book was published by MTV but written and contributed to by people who were heavily involved in the hardcore scene. Once again, the local press fails to write anything decent or relevant to the punk/hardcore community. MICHAEL (VIA EYEWEEKLY.COM)
