‘T-ball home run’

Dear Editor:

RE: Swing and a miss, May 23.

I found Dave Adsett’s editorial last week a bit disconcerting.

In the past he has lamented how we have become polarized as a society and how populism brings out the worst in us, and yet, he played the “bike lane” card.

Such an easy home run out of the populist playbook to say, “I’m with the people” and it’s the elites who don’t listen who get the bike lanes.

Green Lanes gave out four bikes last week to people who live in downtown Fergus who do not drive. Those are the “people” I care about and they deserve some space and freedom to move about our community.

You got your T-ball home run, now do your research and come back to us with what is “smart transportation” and join the pros.
