Sir: In response to S.M. McGregor’s letter, “Will they come to Chatham-Kent?” in the April 24 Chatham Voice, Chatham-Kent is in such a mess because of Toronto.
We have been forced to amalgamate our communities to save money. Did not work.
We have been forced to amalgamate our hospitals to save money. Did not work.
Now we are seeing turbines erected for green energy to supply the biggest consumer in Ontario, Toronto.
We pay to export the excess electricity, yet we use less. We mothballed a modern coal-burning plant in Sarnia just to see the aging plants across the river still running.
It is easy to sit in Toronto without piles of garbage to look at and thousands of turbines on the countyside and think all is well while in reality all the rest of Ontario is in misery.
This is the underlying feeling that most of us are experiencing towards Toronto. We have been told what to do for the benefit of Toronto.
FYI, Justin Bieber is from Stratford, Ont., the river bottom of the Thames is mud (brown color) and the flat countryside is fertile farmland cleared and drained from marshland.
