I'm pretty certain I'm not the only one to notice this traffic increase. It probably speaks well for local and area commerce, but that said, it has also increased the pedestrian and vehicular difficulties. The intersection of London and Blyth Roads has particularly become one that as much as possible, I personally try to avoid. I've seen some pretty close calls there; some in which I've been almost involved. I understand the county's reluctance to install traffic lights — the apparent cost and all — since no significant accident has occurred at this intersection for quite some time. I'm not sure how "significant" an accident has to be for someone to act. I understand there have been accidents at this intersection, some fairly recently, but thankfully none have ended in tragedy or serious injury, so officials have not reacted. I have a question: Having acknowledged the reasons behind not installing traffic signals, is the county liable in the event of a tragic, or "significant" accident, by not attempting to prevent such accidents from occurring in the first place? What will it take to revisit the traffic light issue at Highways 4 and 25 conversation? Additionally, I'm sure you've noticed the new solar -powered pedestrian crossing lights in Clinton. I was impressed by the relative simplicity, and the fact that the work from start to finish seemed to take less than two weeks to complete ... and that included curb concrete curing of curb access. I don't know what the cost of this crossing improvement was, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't close to what a hard- wired system would have cost. There is a need for such a pedestrian safety improvement in Blyth. I, and others I'm sure, have had difficulties, or close calls, crossing Queen Street — either at the post office, or at the Dinsley Street intersection. At least it would be worth exploring the cost -benefits of installing such a system here — for the sake of personal safety. While nothing may come of this, I hope it encourages revisiting at local council and at County level. Greg Sarachman, Blyth. Writer addresses federal issues THE EDITOR, North Huron Publishing President Keith Roulston's recent editorials have brought into painful focus some issues effusing from high in the federal government. Indeed, lately one cannot view any news source without seeing the exposure of another galling breach of trust by the Trudeau Liberals. Last week, it was wasting a meager surplus, now news of the Paradise Papers. Before this, the ghastly, bungled changes to the tax structures of Canada — a constant stream that shockingly reduces even U.S. President Donald Trump into background noise. Then we witness Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna confronting a journalist for using an amusing name which she said disparages her and intimidates "girls" from entering into politics. What didn't make the news is that she has not publicly decried the same behaviour when her party flung far more vile labels at female opposition MPs. McKenna's "climate Barbie" diversion would be much more credible had she never indulged in the same, or if she had responded as vociferously to CBC's This Hour has 22 Minutes "Sexy Climate Change Song". But nary a word on this or other incidents of rank sexism occurring within the folds of Trudeau's party. Of course, it must be challenging to rebuke one's supporters. And herein lies the fouled foil — this government has shown itself adept at diverting attention from its own messes by stridently pointing out the perceived faults of those around them. On to financial fronts — when Finance Minister Morneau announced extreme "adjustments" to income tax rules, the Prime Minister (a trust fund baby himself) indicated that it was designed to stop tax cheats. You know, those middle class Canadians, farmers, business owners, etc, who are using "loopholes' to avoid paying millions of dollars of taxes. Ordinary, hard- working folks — our neighbours, our friends, our families —being painted by the PM as the reason our country is falling into difficult financial straits. Most of us know the real situation; those people that Trudeau slagged as "tax cheaters" are in most cases merely working hard to run a productive business and are thereby the backbone of the Canadian economy. They are, by and large, staying within the rules while trying to avoid the bloody slash of the tax- man's knife in order to survive and grow. Then, in other news, we learn that Minister Morneau himself has been less than forthcoming about his own business structures and how they are set up to benefit from tax "loopholes" and even benefit from his actions as the Minister of Finance! All this, while his proposed tax rule changes were going to make it difficult for parents to pass the farm down to the next generation without incurring a huge tax penalty. Alas, there's even more duplicity to behold— even the Governor General plays out this incumbent theme! This hand-picked appointment of a Prime Minister who, incidentally, boasts inclusivity and diversity, takes it upon herself to brazenly and unrepentantly offend millions of Canadians of many faiths when she scorns the possibility of divine intervention. Not only bold, but obviously a big risk -taker, a position which hardly springs from a scientific approach. Now, here's the Paradise Papers, a huge file of documents leaked to the German media. These papers expose the names of the ultra -rich who use "legal" offshore accounts to camouflage their wealth from the taxman's thrust. Not tens of thousands, but millions and even billions of dollars stashed safely away. Among the astonishing list of names appear those of Trudeau's biggest campaign contributors. What a coincidence —allegedly using dollars that were diverted out of the country (to avoid taxes) to help win Trudeau's election to Prime Minister. Again, it must be challenging to rebuke one's supporters. At one time we mocked third - world leaders for their overt corruption — does cloaking it beneath a suit and sunny smile make it any more acceptable? One standard, or two? Should we follow their advice, or their actions? When will Canadians have had enough of this sickening hypocrisy? John Schwartzentruber, Brussels, ON. HPLA meeting set THE EDITOR, Farmers and property owners have good reason to fear "Bill 139, Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act" which proposes harsh changes to how conservation authorities can deal with private property owners. It basically gives them permission to enter private property without a warrant, if they deem necessary. And their idea of "necessary" might not be the same as held by the private property owner. Where will this erosion of our rights end? The Huron Perth Landowners' Association (HPLA) has been striving to protect our rights from government abuse since it began in 2010 by emphasizing the importance of the Magna Carta, signed by King John over 800 years ago. The HPLA would like to help property owners become more familiar with what the Magna Carta means today by hosting a public event at the Brodhagen Community Centre on Thursday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. All are welcome to come hear Dr. Carolyn Harris, a lecturer at the University of Toronto, to learn how this historical document still stands to protect our interests today.
