Editor:
The feeble behavior of Canmore council relating to the flood of potential infection into Canmore this last weekend is truly frightening.
Despite the significant limitations of the provincial response to the crisis, municipalities like Calgary and Banff have taken matters into their own hands and done their best – with some success – to control things.
Not so in Canmore.
Vague mutterings from the mayor and seriously belated Facebook and website comments are worthless – who in Calgary and elsewhere actually reads this sort of political pabulum, especially when most of it is posted at the end of the weekend and is therefore largely irrelevant anyway.
The nature of Canmore's response shows that council has no real concern for people who actually live here.
Their primary motive seems to be to allow businesses of various sorts to make money regardless.
Many of us, I suspect, are now disinclined to stay in this mismanaged burgh once the virus abates, and the Town can then become the Airbnb and weekender capital of the Rockies that council appears to want.
