In January Guysborough was blessed with a snowfall that transformed my rural community into a winter-wonderland. Ray BatesGUYSBOROUGH, N.S. — The American statesman Benjamin Franklin is said to have stated that the only two things we are certain of are taxes and death. I propose that we expand those certainties. Canadians are guaranteed to have four seasons with winter always being a yearly occurrence.
From a personal prospective, today is a blustery, snowy and cold day in my community but being a person who prepares for these conditions I did not forgo my daily walk due to the conditions --- perceived by some --- as being too nasty. With garments that enabled me to venture outside, there was no reason to hunker inside and complain.
Some communities have the asinine governmental policy that owners must clear the sidewalks fronting their properties of ice and snow. Our taxes should be ensuring that all walkways are efficiently maintained by our employees using our equipment so as to enable foot traffic to safely venture into both mental and physical health-enhancing activities.
