Dear Editor:
I was one of the mask protesters at the Minto town council meeting on Sept. 15.
First of all, I must say I was very impressed with the behaviour of the police that came on the scene and the council who allowed us to present our ten-minute presentation to the council in a safe and orderly fashion.
Freedom of speech and information without reprisal is essential in sorting out these kinds of issues, and any attacks or intimidation or mocking different points of view is probably not the best way to approach these subjects.
What is the best way to protect our health and rights and freedoms? Are these blanket lockdowns more harmful than good in respect to economic issues, postponed medical treatment, surgeries and mental health issues, and general fear, not to mention the fact that some people are just acting weird?
We should peacefully and orderly make an honest effort to find out.
Frank Carere,
Drayton
