Support homeless first

Letters

Editor:

This is an open letter to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Dear Harry and Meghan:

Welcome to Canada.

Knowing what I do of you, from the media, I am confident that you share Canadians’ concern for the homeless among us who are attempting to stay alive, particularly in the winter weather.

With your decision to spend much of your time in Canada now, British Columbia in particular, and with your cost of living being well beyond even those of us who consider ourselves well off, I am becoming concerned that we taxpayers will be paying the bills to support you instead of our homeless.

Please put my mind at rest. All I have heard in the news so far is the question of whether we will have to pay for your security, which is probably equal to housing quite a few of the people on our streets.

Carolann Glover, Roberts Creek
