Our leaders could learn from Macron
Thank you Emmanuel Macron. The French president showed courage that is lacking here in North America among our leaders. He mandated vaccine passports for people to enter public spaces such as cinemas, restaurants, bars, sporting and music events. Macron stated that it is time now for the unvaccinated to stay home.
Hopefully, here we will wake up and follow suit. Vaccines have been mandatory in public schools for decades and yet we won’t mandate COVID vaccines? Few post-secondary schools have mandated vaccines. Employers can legally mandate vaccination but don’t. Not even for health care workers.

It appears, nowdays, people pursue causes, real or conjectured, to fulfill their quest for 15 minutes of fame. We have more pressing issues than altering provincial flags. By the way, Canada is not a colony.

Why stop at flag?
Mano Majumdar, from Western University, wants to replace the Ontario flag with a new flag that doesn’t reflect colonization.
Graham Broad, also from Western, dismissed any suggestion a flag change would be seen as “cancelling history.” I disagree.
Majumdar sees the flag as a symbol of Ontario and Canada as a colony and it’s time for a change. Perhaps we should cancel, er, I mean modernize, the city named London as well as the Thames River. After all they are named after the centre of colonization, London, England. And then of course, we have Talbot Street, Talbotville, Colonel Talbot Road, and the Talbot Trail, all named after the chief colonizer, Col. Thomas Talbot. We’ve got quite a lot of work ahead of us.

I was disappointed to read about the large number of Londoners lobbying city council to eliminate planned sidewalks on their street. Road allowances for most of the city are 20 metres so stand in the middle of your street and measure 10 metres from the centre and you will see most of your front lawn is actually city property. It belongs to all citizens of London. Maps defining road allowances are on London.ca
To use trees as an excuse is inexcusable.
