Dear Editor, I have some bad news for Mr. Buck and Mr. Bernard. I desperately want us to slow down, then reverse, Climate Change by every means possible. We need to adopt Green Energy solutions as quickly as we can. On as large a scale as possible. Proven, safe, planet saving, Green Energy solutions. Like the one Mr. Buck, Mr. Bernard,...

Dear editor, I must take issue with your latest rant in favour of Meaford’s garbage bag tag system (The 3Rs...Rants, Raves & Rumours, October 6, 2022 print edition). In theory, as you point out, it is supposed to foster a user pay system and create an incentive for recycling/composting. In practice, however, it only creates an incentive for residents to...

Editor, Letters to the Editor in the October 13, 2022 issue of the Meaford Independent illustrate that a few people do not understand what the TCE Project is about and how it will or will not affect their lives in Meaford. If they had done the research that I have performed, they would understand that a large number of 'Pumped Storage...

Editor, The Escarpment Corridor Alliance held a summit meeting on June 24 at the George Knowles Red Barn near Ravenna. It was noted in a follow up email that the meeting was “making Escarpment history” to gather so many groups, who in their various ways and study of numerous development projects are all working to protect the escarpment around Georgian...

Editor, As the the Business Manager of LiUNA, Ontario Provincial District Council (“LiUNA”), I am writing on behalf of LiUNA’s 120,000 hard-working Ontario members – several thousand of whom live and work in Grey, Bruce and Simcoe Counties - to reiterate our support for TC Energy’s proposed Ontario Pumped Storage Project at the Canadian Force’s 4th Division Training Centre north...

Dear Editor, It defies belief. Tom Buck and the Save Georgian Bay Team have uncovered yet another thing that routinely happens every day in thousands of places around the world – but cannot be done in Meaford, Ontario. Impossible – ONLY in Meaford? How can this be? Although Mr. Buck appears to be trapped in 2019, or ignores for his own...

Dear Sir, Last Saturday I went for a walk about town, picking up a few vitamins at the IDA on my way. My credit card was in my pocket. I happily strolled down Sykes and took pics all along the way of the darling scarecrows and walked along the lovely Georgian Trail wending my way home toward the east side...

Editor, It was pointed out that 300 scarecrows end up in landfill when the invasion is over. I have an alternative suggestion. Why not send them out in a blaze of glory. Pile them up somewhere and have a community bonfire complete with hot dogs and pop, maybe throw in a few fireworks for good luck. From what I have read, the...

Editor, Thank you for your fantastic edition that profiles the candidates for municipality of Meaford. We certainly have a diverse and knowledgeable list of interested citizens. You have done a great job of letting us get to know and understand their views. I have read all of them and it is going to be hard to decide who will do the...

Editor, I'd like to respond to Tom Buck’s letter, which appeared in the Thursday, September 29 edition of the Meaford Independent. I too have enjoyed my conversations with Tom, and I have the utmost respect for the honest plain-speaking people of Michigan. Ironically my passion for this project materialized in Michigan. While visiting the Ludington Pumped Storage Plant – this facility stores...
