Dear Editor:
I wish to commend Coun. Doug MacKay-Dunn for alerting the residents of the North Shore to the necessity of having "to get away from this vulcanized system of government," as reported by the intrepid Jeremy Shepherd in last Wednesday's edition of the North Shore News.
The prospect of our municipal staff working under an impermeable layer of reinforced rubber is horrifying indeed and will do nothing to improve the speed of amalgamation.
Equally appalling is the possibility that municipal staff have adopted the characteristics of the planet Vulcan where humanoids from outer space make the policy decisions; or worse still, the Town of Vulcan where the main attraction, a replica of the Starship Enterprise, is a poor competitor to our truncated Victory Ship.
If amalgamation will obviate these catastrophic outcomes, then there's not a moment to lose.

Editor's note: The word should have been "balkanized."
