Maybe this is the start of a former beautiful friendship????
Cars and shopping carts should not be in same lineup
Last week while walking down York Street, I noticed a disgusting sight at the Fredericton Redemption Centre.
There's always a huge lineup of vehicles in that area. But this time it was different.
Between the fancy vehicles were these two guys waiting to cash in their empty bottles. These individuals are poor and they can use the extra cash. I have been told it's been like this for years.
The owners treat everyone equally on a first come, first serve basis.
Sorry! I can't agree with this system.
Can you imagine standing in the cold or rain waiting for a few bucks? I understand it's a private company and they can do whatever they want, but this is very degrading to the poor in Fredericton.
What would happen if a poor individual got hit by a car? Who will get the blame?
This is the only city that has rich bureaucrats and the poor - side by side.
You see it every single day in the capital but to parade the poor in this public manner is very upsetting.
Fancy vehicles and shopping carts in a lineup!
Also how many of those cars leave their ignition running? That's very bad for the environment.
Breathing in those noxious fumes, while standing in line, is very bad for your health.
Why not have a special area for the poor who don't own a vehicle? How would they like to be standing in the cold winds or rain for a couple bucks?
Something should be done with this awful situation.

Who edited it for you - a friend or the newspaper?
DUUHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
And, who just a short while ago claimed the Irvings wouldn't publish his letters?
Hypocrite! The way you posted those pictures of that old lady that got hurt, now that was degrading. Before making statements look in the mirror.
When I lived in the area I always walked over to pass in my bottles and cans... if you get there early enough there's no line.... I don't have a problem with first come first serve.
Charles, how cum you don't talk about the stolen shopping carts left outside the recycling place? I know becuase of your belief in God that you cannot accept someone stealing shopping carts.
"This is the only city that has rich bureaucrats and the poor - side by side."
Ummm....no it isn't. Have you ever been to *any* other city?
