The following letter is in response to story that appeared May 7 entitled Area snowbirds walk across border through 'loophole' after months in Mexico.

Dear Editor,

I was appalled and concerned at the Saturday story about the Vernons.

If your reporters want to cover a story like this they must use balance and common sense in the write-up, and in this case there was no reporter effort to actually be a journalist.

Very sad.

I doubt that you need me to spell out how uninformed and self-centred the piece was.

Thanks for clarifying I shouldn’t look beyond death notices and council news from you. It’s so sad as your paper has done a good daily summary of COVID-19 stats.

Disappointedly,

Brenda Graham

Penetanguishene
