Letter to the Editor Dear Sir, Regarding Mr. Dave MacDougall's letter June 23rd, Foodland closure not a disaster. Yes. Mr. MacDougall does not shop at Foodland and can drive to his choice of shopping destinations. Yes & No. While the loss of Foodland may not be a disaster – it is a loss to the community and the downtown in particular. This is...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Just a reminder. What about wanting a job and living in 'Lesser Meaford'? Can a person get help out here? I know of elderly couples living out here who have no way to go to town for groceries or even a haircut. Perhaps previous council should not have called our Municipality 'Meaford', unless they meant for services...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Thank you to the MANY volunteers who helped in so many ways, making SOUP OR MEAL the 10 year success it was. Also thank you to all who came to enjoy the fruits of our labour. God's Richest Blessings to all. Stan and Barbara Arnelien

Letter to the Editor Editor, This is in reply to Mr. MacDougall's letter of June 23, 2016. I don't think I have ever read a more condescending letter referring to the people of Meaford. Especially those of us who rely on the downtown grocery store. People who have supported local business for many years. This just shows that some people and...

Letter to the Editor Editor, What is going on at our cemetery? It was running great and looking fabulous with a very competent manager and his part time helper that could be counted on to run things in the manager's absence. Does Council and the senior management know anything about our cemetery? Perhaps a counter at entrances would indicate the activity.Sitting in...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I reread the letter from Dave MacDougall and I am still seething. It is plain to see he has money for cab fare and a car and gas to run the car. He has legs that work so does not need a wheelchair or walker. He can get to Valu-mart in the winter. He does...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Larry Miller seems to have trouble wrapping his lips around the “g” word. How else to explain the curious omission of any reference to the LGBT identity of those “targeted specifically” by the homophobic killer, in Miller’s lengthy letter of June 20? But he does get his Islamophobia front and centre, recycling Republican attacks on Barack...

Letter to the Editor Dear Sir, In your 3 Rs... Rants, Raves & Rumours column in your April 6 print edition of The Meaford Independent you remarked on some of the reprehensible aspects of the practices of the corporate grocery chain industry. Unfortunately we in Canada lack the wherewithal to confront the numerous abuses encountered daily when shopping for groceries. A glance...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, We were all very saddened to hear of the brutal attack on a night club recently in Orlando, Florida. There has been an outpouring of support for the victims and their families and our thoughts and prayers are certainly with them at this time. This shooting very clearly demonstrated the height of intolerance as the Pulse...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Yes... It is sad that some jobs may be lost... Though I suspect that good workers will be offered jobs in the area so 20 lost jobs may not be the final tally. Yes... It is sad that people in the downtown core may have to take a taxi or drive to other stores... This adds to...
