Entrepreneurial Endeavours Should be Supported

Monday, 12 July 2010 07:00 Letter to the Editor Letters

To the Editor,

I never would have guessed that a hot dog stand would cause such a furor for Mr. McPherson. The Evanson’s should be commended for attempting to boost tourist trade. Entrepreneurial endeavours should be applauded not stymied by one councillor’s bureaucratic rhetoric.

Mr. McPherson does highlight some valid reasons to be concerned about the establishment of a hot dog vendor in downtown Meaford. It is true we have restaurants, but perhaps some patrons would opt to sit outside and admire the town of Meaford while eating a hot dog.

Revised Waste Collection Doesn't Suit Everyone

Saturday, 10 July 2010 06:50 Letter to the Editor Letters

Dear Editor,

I have some issues with the letter submitted by Kara Smith on the subject of our new Garbage pick-up schedule, and hope you will allow me to voice them.

First , I applaud Ms Smith in her efforts to reduce her garbage , I like the fact that she recycles and composts, that her garbage will soon be one bag a month.

However why do people have this mentality that just because a system works for them that it will work for all ?

It's Not Just Another Hot Dog Stand

Friday, 09 July 2010 09:36 Letter to the Editor Letters

Dear Editor,

Economics 101- Business Builds Business.

In response to "It's just another hotdog stand". The bottom line as it exists right now is that there are no street vendor by-law requirements in the municipality.

In fact anyone is free to open a business anywhere on public property in the municipality of Meaford without enforceable reproach. We could all wake up on morning and start a business selling whatever wherever as long as we don't break any MTO rules.
