‘Council to blame’

Dear Editor:

I am disappointed in Minto council again. Minto council has stated they will not accept nor answer any more questions associated with the petition signed by 900 people.

However, this has not stopped many community members from publicly stating their views on the subject, as reported in this paper. The word hate has been used often by those opposed to the petition.

I am curious, does this word work for both sides of this disagreement or are we in a free country where everyone is entitled to state their opinion with respect for the opposition?

We only have our council to blame for allowing this to develop into a huge division in our town.

Lynda Alexander,
