re Randy Hillier
We have an answer to the March 7 headline in the Frontenac News – “Local PC Riding Association wants to know what Ford plans to do about Hillier”. We have now learned that Randy Hillier is no longer in the Conservative Caucus doghouse. Ford realized that Hillier is not a… READ MORE
Re Central Frontenac tax bills
In common, no doubt, with other miscreants, I recently received an intimidating "tax recovery process notification" from Central Frontenac. What was the offence that triggered this, with its implicit threat of imminent legal action? I had missed, by a whole two weeks, the deadline for the first installment of the… READ MORE
Letter re – Randy Hillier
Well done, Randy! We are with you all the way. Canada is in sore need of restoring democratic government. Our institutions are no longer trusted by the people. Our country is divided with friends and neighbours, driven apart by political rhetoric and manipulation. Anarchy is on the horizon and crime… READ MORE

Re – White Lake Cottage Association
Congratulations and kudos to the White Lake Cottage Association for their well-deserved award from the Federation of Ontario Cottagers Association (FOCA). Keeping our lakes as pristine as possible is an ongoing challenge for all lake property owners. White Lake property owners have assumed additional responsibility to support the fish culture… READ MORE
Re: Solomon’s Solution... C’mon
Thanks to Jeff Green for the informative article on the transportation services funding for our community. Whether you live in SF, CF, or NF, we all know people or have families in all these communities and should want to support ALL in need, equally. I cannot believe that council would… READ MORE
Re – County budget
I want to congratulate Jeff Green for telling it like it is, regarding the County budget. I was a County Councilor from 2010 until 2018, and first ran into this notion of subtracting the assessment increase from the levy increase, to get a palatable number for the media to report,… READ MORE
Re “Protestors target Sharbot Lake Legion”
In response to the write up and picture taken at the Sharbot Lake Legion on February 10th, I cannot imagine you were picking a person apart who was doing good for your home town. The man was organising an afternoon of fun, socialising and music. I was there. It was… READ MORE
Hate speech incident in Harrowsmith
This Family day I had the misfortune of seeing a Harrowsmith resident abuse the owner of the Centex gas station In Harrowsmith. At 61 years old I would be first to admit that I at times am not as politically correct as I should be. Things that were said and… READ MORE

In response to the statement made in David Daski’s letter to the Editor in the February 14, 2019 Vol. 19, No. 6 edition, the Sharbot Lake Medical Centre is currently and has been continuously accepting new patients since July 1, 1971, if you live in our catchment area. Please call… READ MORE
New Township Office?
What is going on here? Has our area suddenly become prosperous, full of jobs and business opportunities? Has Amazon decided to locate its newest fulfillment center to Central Frontenac? Is that why our elected officials need to ramp up spending to accommodate all the new job seekers migrating to our… READ MORE
Re - Sharbot Lake Dentistry
As we watch our community grow and transition as us baby boomers retire and sell our businesses, it is heartwarming to see a young dentist like Dr. Amir Faizi take over the practice here in Sharbot Lake. He is bright, caring and a very good dentist. He has been caring… READ MORE
Re - North Frontenac looking at unique family development on Kashwakamak
I am writing on behalf of the Kashwakamak Lake Association (KLA) Board to set the record straight regarding inaccurate statements attributed to the KLA in your recent article, “North Frontenac looking at unique family development on Kashwakamak” written by Craig Bakay and posted on Wednesday November 28th, 2018. Your article included a… READ MORE
Letter – re vote in AH
Craig Bakay quotes Addington Highlands Reeve Hogg as saying: “There were about 30 people at the meetings and so you don’t know if that’s representative.” Reeve Hogg, having decided that the cannabis issue required direct consultation with constituents, apparently believes that it is acceptable to then dismiss those of his… READ MORE
Re Canada-China tension
I applaud X.B. Shen’s eloquently written attempt to conflate any criticism of Communist China with “anti-Chinese” behaviour and then link this to his implied concerns that he will somehow be targeted in a wave of “anti-Chinese sentiment.” He connects this to a very selective and vague list of historical grievances… READ MORE
Re - Tailgating
Driving in the beautiful Frontenac counties, I cannot believe how many people tailgate. I was behind a car and school bus and the driver of the bus was moving left to right in the lane so he could see the car behind him in the mirror. If you cannot see… READ MORE
