Dear Editor,
The world has changed, and now too, it is time for our Municipality to change with it. Our political bar must be raised significantly. It is time to leave the local politics of the 1980’s behind.
We need to replace deceit, deception and dotage with accountability,diligence, honesty and integrity.
We need some bright young candidates. Minds that are level-headed, enthusiastic, that understand teamwork, and can get things done.
To succeed such candidates will of course need the full support of the whole Community—parents, young people, and seniors. Hopefully, younger members of the Municipality will now speak up, support, and not only take part in the upcoming election, but in the overall running of their Community.
Seniors need not, and should not be afraid of change; instead, now perhaps, they should show, and place more faith in our community’s sons & daughters! It really is time to let go…. The time has come to hand over the reins to the next generation.
Let us hope that in the coming weeks some new young candidates, whether it be for Mayor, Deputy, or Councillor, will step up to the plate.
As we all have come to realize over the past four years, this Municipality is in desperate need of change -- and that time is NOW!
Jane Buchanan, Meaford
