Your Thompson Citizen News Team

just wherever you happen to be at the time helps to demonstrate to those who may not know any better that this is what you are supposed to do with your garbage. The sad reality, however, is that it is probably impossible to inspire everyone to care. That said, there are certainly other communities in this province and across the country whose citizens have a superior record when it comes to keeping the places they live clean. Hopefully Thompson can someday do a better job of emulating them.

Maybe the low turnout of people with opinions on how many councillors there should be isn’t an expression of apathy but of pragmatism. Experience has shown quite often that this council – and others before it –is going to do what the majority of its members think is right, regardless of what the most vocal taxpayers think. If that is the case, does it really matter how many of them there are?
