Leaders doing their best

Re: Jan. 14 editorial cartoon

I commend you on running the Mackay cartoon. I think it perfectly captures the issue. The first cel shows a mob led by opposition leaders pelting Ontario’s premier with rotten tomatoes, holding a sign saying “mental health matters” as they yell “open the schools.” The second shows the crowd pelting him as they hold a sign saying “safety first,” yelling “keep the schools closed.”

He should have done this, he should have done that. He can’t win. The same can be said of our prime minister. This crowd says he should have kept borders closed longer and that crowd demands he open them. This crowd wants to assure the supply chain remains unencumbered and that crowd insists all truckers be vaccinated.

Has this ever-evolving pandemic taught us nothing?

I think both crowds need to wake up and appreciate our leaders are doing the best they can in these virtually unprecedented times. Anne Bell Crystal Beach
