Why promote outside businesses?
July 28, 2014 · 0 Comments
I was speaking to a Regional councillor about the problem of Bolton residents not supporting local business, and how there have been so many small retail businesses come and go in recent years.
Upon my return home and after glancing through the July 17 Caledon Citizen, I happened to notice a small article by Bill Rea about Trudy Valier running for a council seat, and one of her key issues is also the lack of local business support and resulting closures.
Well, I have the answer, or at least, part of the problem — The Citizen.
Just a few pages on I see a rather prominent article, complete with large photo, on a new retail business just opened in Woodbridge. Why on earth, as a local community newspaper, are you travelling down to Woodbridge and writing editorial on a business in another municipality? How about saving some gas money, and walking across the street to write about a local business, a business that is part of the Caledon Community that you claim to be a part of? Evidently, you are not the “Caledon” Citizen you claim to be.
It beggars all belief that you can do this.
Simon Burn,
Caledon (not Woodbridge)
