Stop it as it starts

Sep 30, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor.
I had to write something on this after reading about, “Curbing the illegal street vending menace in the city”.
Why wait until such things like illegal street vending and squatting and having pit-bull dogs turn out to be a plague before trying to curb it?
It is very simple to stop these things as soon as it starts up.
Take a serious look at what is taking place on the main public road leading to Diamond Scheme.
Why does the authority allow these people to set up shop, then when it gets out of hand and are asked to move, it becomes a big problem.
In order for these things to not get out of hand and out of control, stop it dead in it’s track as soon as it spring up.
Like one Guyanese lady here in Toronto Canada some years back, set up a stall on the road side next to a ravine to sell corn.
I told my wife if she is allowed to do that then look for others to do the same.
A few hours later as we were passing back we saw the police breaking her stand and ordering her to pick up all her stuff and never to do that again.
She never did again.
This is the only way to stop this plague called street vending/squatting and owning pit-bull dogs.
No one can squat here in Toronto and pit-bull dogs are banned.
