Reader: Charter Schools Can't Come Fast Enough

Monday, 04 February 2013 16:02 Letter to the Editor Letters

Editor,

Recent TMI editorial about the right to union representation failed to make the major distinction between public sector unions and private sector unions and how and with whom they negotiate.

It is very simplistic to say that everyone deserves representation in the same way. Private industry and their unions must negotiate in good faith or eventually economics will catch up with them. Look at what is happening to unionized auto companies. When a particular product or service is affected by a strike or an unrealistic settlement in the private sector we are free to go elsewhere.

Reader: Seven Habits of Highly Effective Dog Walker/Owners

Wednesday, 16 January 2013 10:18 Letter to the Editor Letters

Editor,

As spring-like weather melts the snow, grass and piles of dog poop are there for all to see.

Our municipality is one of the places in Ontario that is welcoming of dogs; therefore, it is incumbent upon us dog walker/owners to behave in a manner that appreciates and fosters this supportive community attitude.

Youth Reader: What Meaford Needs

Wednesday, 16 January 2013 10:15 Letter to the Editor Letters

Dear Editor,

Living in Meaford has been like a dream. Everyone in Meaford has always been respectful to me and as kind as they can, and it is almost the best town in Ontario. Everyone deserves a pat on the back for the respect level in this town.

There is a lot to do in Meaford but not so much for our future youth. There are parks, swimming pool and baseball courts, trails and a broken ghetto skate park. But some youth are not interested in that stuff and enjoy other stuff such as; working out, spending time with their friends outside of their homes and school and other activities such as keeping active and being happy.
