Re: April Fools

Dear Editor

When I first read the March 31 edition of the Frontenac News I was extremely disappointed. In fact I started to prepare a formal letter of complaint but thought, “No. I’d better scan it again.” And there it was, your April fools piece, and it was wonderful! I don’t normally pay much attention to the Letters to the Editor section but I certainly will in future. Your letter about the drama teacher (Re: Prime Minister Trudeau, Mar 1/16) was absolutely hilarious. It was like Rex Murphy reacting to a bad hair day. You even chose an author’s name that sounded like the crazy that wrote letters years ago. It was great! Keep up the good work.

On a more serious but also positive note, I hope you continue with the kind of insightful economic analysis contained in the “Green Resort” article. This is the kind of rational economic development the region needs – capitalizing on our current assets, not building a Toyota plant behind Bob’s Petrocan. I retired to this area because I thought I could have a good time here. Let’s get on with it.
