Happy reading Loyal Readers!
My opinion! There is a real issue happening in our municipal politics. Bullying and harassment is at an all time high. I sure experienced it during the last election. Soap box theatrics over integrity at the Township of Springwater meetings. This isn’t an occasional occurrence; it happens at most meetings. It’s happening at Township of Tiny, with aggressive protesters and claims of violence against Mayor Evans, but no charges were laid. There are slanderous comments being hurled in chambers of Township of Tiny, Town of Midland and Township of Springwater. It’s sad and embarrassing.
Everyone deserves to have their voice heard—that’s the heart of democracy. But when discussions turn into death threats or slander, we’ve lost sight of what democracy truly means.
The successful protest against Site 41 serves as a model example. Mahatma Gandhi: “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.” The protesters of this fight were gentle and had the most powerful results. A whisper commands attention; a shout demands it. Speak up. Stand firm. But never tear down others with slander or threats – that’s not democracy, that’s decay.
