Judging from Peter Fisher's editorial in the paper today, not many showed up.<BR/><BR/>Nobody is posting comments to this note either. Is it because we know that it's hopeless? With the rural gang ready to out vote us, what's the point of going to a meeting?<BR/><BR/>It's not like Cobourg Council is going to listen to the citizens and fight for the local police.<BR/><BR/>Don't know about Port Hope, with lots of folks at their meeting, are they getting organized to fight back?<BR/><BR/>It seems reasonable enough that the rural areas have the OPP. Without the density of the urban environment, that police force is well suited to provide protection in rural areas. <BR/><BR/>We need more than that in the towns though - the concentration of people demands more hands-on services than the OPP can provide.<BR/><BR/>If only Cobourg and Port Hope police forces had merged when the idea came up, we might not be facing this mess now.<BR/><BR/>Back to the original point, why should we bother? It's a done deal, we are again sold down the river by our illustrious Council.<BR/><BR/>My head is getting sore!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
