Woolwich Township Councillor insults the USA
Here is a copy of the letter I sent to the Elmira Independent the Woolwich Observer and the Kitchener Record.
To the Editor
Several weeks ago at the memorial centre Councillor Ruby Weber ordered an arena employee to take down an American flag that was put up for some visitors from the USA. The employee refused (like he/she should have), then Councillor Weber then went and tore it down herself and trashed it.
Since this incident I have been watching the papers for a report about this and nothing. I thought that a written apology would be published nothing. What is happening, are we just going to sit back and let this insult to our township go without anything said? Not only was this an insult to our southern neighbours but as a representative of this township, Councillor Weber insulted them on behalf of everyone in the township.
I am embarrassed to say I live in Woolwich. We have councillors who can behave in such manner and we all sit back and let it happen without a word said. I have heard a lot of rumblings about this and a lot of upset people. If you want something done then speak up go to the council meetings and write some letters. We all must get involved with what goes on with our local government.
Update:
I got a response from the two local papers in Woolwich and they did not want to publish this because I did not witness the event. They stated they are waiting for an actual witness to come to them. My comment are you not reporters/journalists go find the witnesses. They will not come to you. You may need to go out and investigate the news.
