Dear Editor
On June 9, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. the Greyhound bus from Edmonton arrived at the North Battleford Depot. A male passenger entered the depot asking for a ticket on the seven o'clock bus to Meadow Lake. The ticket agent informed him there was no longer any bus service from North Battleford to Meadow Lake.
The passenger was irate that the bus had been cancelled. He has made the connection to Meadow Lake other times in the past. The ticket agent suggested maybe someone could come from Meadow Lake to pick him up. The man stated there was no one who could or would do that. Grabbing his bag he stated, “I guess the only thing I can do is hitchhike!”
Did he ever get to his destination safely? We will never know!
So the hitchhiking begins! People are being forced by the Wall government to make life-threatening decisions. How many robberies, assaults, sexual harassments will result? How long will it be before the predators move in searching for the vulnerable? Will the Highway between North Battleford and Meadow Lake become a “Highway of Human Suffering?”
The blame for this lies squarely on the shoulders of the Wall government and their (not so hidden) agenda of destroying the Crown Corporations.
