Letters, Sept. 25
Robert Moskal, in his Sept. 21 letter, "Sage advice," ponders whether teaching children to look both ways before crossing the street is part of the current problem. He questions whether common sense and etiquette have been abandoned, particularly in the context of e-scooters. Moskal calls for a return to basic lessons, such as looking both ways, common decorum, and enforceable regulations on e-scooters.
Patricia Paddey's Sept. 22 letter, "Losing critical resources," highlights the closure of the Charleswood Adult Day Program. She relates her personal experience with the program, noting that it provided crucial respite for her as a caregiver. She criticizes the absence of appropriate funding for the program, which is funded primarily by tuition, leaving it short by over $200 million compared to its population size.
Paddey suggests that higher tuition would ensure more federal grants for students, benefiting both universities and the province. She also points out that the program's daily fee should be income-based to better support financially disadvantaged participants.
