Is it the have nots paying for the have yachts?
To the Expositor:
At the Gore Bay farmers’ market, I asked a lady why there is a swing bridge. Her immediate response was “the tall boats.”
Is this the correct answer? If this is the right answer, who will pay for a swing bridge to access Killarney? The “have nots or the have yachts,” a phrase coined by a Canadian politician.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Manitoulin swing bridge at Little Current is in place due to the North Channel being a “navigatable waterway” and swings on demand for commercial vessels as well as the usual hourly swings.
