letters to Globe re Wente and Pride parade - 1/11/

1. Wente on policing costs

Anyone who has been to court to avoid points because of a driving infraction has seen the the waste
and incompetency associated with this whole function. Most people in the courtroom have committed
some minor driving error, don't mind paying the fine, but go to court to avoid points. In most cases, they
are successful. Time and money by the citizenry, the police and the legal staff are wasted. Major city and
provincial savings are available. Despite my letters to both the city and the province, no one is interested.What a pity.

2. The Pride Parade

Despite the headline and the full one page spread, Pride Toronto's new boss, Kevin Beaulieu, avoids
all of the Globe's questions about Pride's direction and values. If Pride is to be just a good sexually
explicit parade, I don't want my money, my city's money or my province's or federal government's
money to support it. If it is to include hate groups, then it should not be allowed on Toronto's clean
streets.
