Your Letters

Keep the conversation going

I just read “Strange Days Indeed” (Editor’s Note, June/July ’20). I wanted to thank you for taking a balanced and fair approach. I think you summarized the issues well and in a way that didn’t malign either side.

My husband and I are lucky enough to have unrestricted access to a beautiful place built by his grandparents in the Algonquin Highlands, Ont. Our lake Facebook group has been a constant battleground since the pandemic began, and, to be honest, I’m not confident that relationships will ever be repaired. I find it rather tragic as we all share a love of the same beautiful lake.

I hope your editorial inspires productive conversation about the issues. It would-19 has identified and magnified a number of huge disparities, and it would be nice if positive change was one of the outcomes of all this.—Laura Sutherland, via email
