Here are some of the comments, but not all:

Absolutely not! Selling would cause numerous persons to loose their jobs, service would likely be outsourced to another province or country. Bruce Telecom continues to provide good income to the municipality on a yearly basis.

Absolutely not. Bruce Telecom contributes to the community.

Absolutely not. Town council present & future will only deplete money from sale, the same as they do with the reserve funds & leave us with nothing. If we continue to own it, we will always share an income.

Bruce Telecom has lost a number of CEOs and CFOs in a short period of time.  This is not a good sign  They are in a business that requires large amounts of capital to stay current.  It's a dangerous position for Kincardine.  Council has no experience managing a high technology business

All my friends and family have bmts email addresses and internet even if we live outside of Bruce County. Shame on you for even suggesting this!!!- It's one of the few local companies left!

Another provider is only looking at a profit. Bruce Telecom is looking to serve the community.

As long as the council don't get to  greedy, it should be a nice income and maybe help keep our taxes in check

Bruce Telecom has been apart of Kincardine's history for a long time. Why take away from the history of Kincardine and the employees that work there. Just to save a buck!!

Bruce Telecom is lagging behind others and losing ground each year as evidenced by the loss of dividend to - Kincardine. We should cut our losses and get out of the telecom business.

Bruce Telecom subsidizes fees paid to the municipality and provides an alternative business for the area. Bell Canada is not a business for a close community. We want quality communications service that we receive from only Bruce Telecom.

 Bruce Telecom should stay as part of Bruce Township who in turn comes under Municipality of Kincardine-
