Letter to the Editor Editor, I want to commend The Meaford Independent for publishing the article from the Pet Expert on Proper Habitats for Betta Fish. Also I commend Brandon Forder for writing it. I am consumed by sympathy every time I walk into a pet store and see these wonderful intelligent fish on display in the tiny cubes and the tiny habitats...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I have closely followed with increasing disbelief the testimony provided by former Principal Secretary, Gerald Butts, the Prime Minister, and the highly partisan Clerk of the Privy Council Michael Wernick before the Justice Committee. They clearly don’t understand the notion that 'no means no'. Apparently repeated requests of the former Attorney-General, Jody Wilson-Raybould, to change her...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I want to thank you and the others who supported me for Meaford councillor. I want you to know that I did not make the decision lightly when I decided to put my name forward for the Conservative nomination for BGOS.As you mentioned I did not foresee Miller retiring from the party when I ran...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, When it comes right down to it, it seems we all have something in common, an inability to know exactly what is going to happen ten years, one year, one week from now. I am sure that had Paul Vickers known that Larry Miller was going to announce he was stepping down, he would not...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, After reading your reporting of council's budget deliberations, it is appears that staff are holding fast at 4.06% increase in residential taxes. Any further reduction would impact services, but staff didn't say what services. However, each year staff announces an annual surplus, usually more than $500,000. I would suggest, that budget deliberations are well into...

Letter to the Editor Editor: I’m sure that steps will be taken to resist any implementation of Doug Ford’s outdated sex education curriculum . To the students who might have to endure such an inadequate program I offer a suggestion as to how you can oppose it. Just walk out when the the material is being taught. True. It will take...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, In response to your Rave article about myself (The 3Rs...Rants, Raves & Rumours column, January 10 print edition)I would like to apologize for falling asleep at the recent Council meeting. Between my DNA and being a busy farmer I do find it hard to keep awake when I’m sitting still in a comfortable chair. This is...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I was watching Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 11/9 in horror of what can be done to innocent citizens, when I realized it may not only be in the U.S. or third world countries. Are we not guilty of the Flint-style genocide in our indigenous communities? Are we not poisoning our water with the tailing ponds out west?...

Letter to the Editor Editor, I hope that Meaford can take a deep breath. I understand that it's very easy to get emotional about an issue like the park bylaw. Personally, I don't know if there is a better approach than the existing bylaw, and I'd like to hear more about the thinking behind it. But I understand that the entire process...
