Hey cabbie! Don’t wave to my daughter

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

Dear Mr. Cab Driver,

I would prefer to talk in person but I don’t know who you are or what company you work for. So I am expressing my concern through the paper. I hope you read this.

My daughter is 12 years old, so are her friends.

They were walking not late at night, it wasn’t even 8:00 p.m., on their way home, when you decided to honk and then smile at them and wave.

Now, maybe you thought you knew them, but I trust my daughter and she said she felt very uncomfortable and disturbed by it.

As was I, and I have to say I used some profanity and was angry when I heard of it.

I have now talked with her and she knows now to look at the car itself, the taxi number and if she has a chance, the actual number of the car.

Believe me, I am a concerned parent and if this happens again I will make sure that you will not do this again to any child in Iqaluit.
