Not About Hillier

David Daski | Jan 06, 2021

This is not another letter about Randy Hillier, although quite frankly it mystifies me all this fuss about wearing masks. People don't think twice about wearing shirts and shoes into stores but somehow think that mask wearing is an affront to their personal freedoms, even though masks can save lives.

No, this letter is in response to what I believe was a completely uncalled for personal attack on Jeff Green in a recent letter penned by Edward Kennedy. In a time when local newspapers are falling like flies, Jeff Green has been doing a fantastic job of maintaining and making relevant the Frontenac News. I’d like to remind Mr. Kennedy that it is this publication that has so often allowed him to expound on what, I'm sure he believes to be his absolutely correct large "R", right wing opinions. Jeff Green by the Frontenac News keeps us updated on all that's relevant locally, and allows a forum for open constructive criticism and debate. Please don't let this degenerate into the tribal chest pounding and rock hurling that figuratively seems to dominate the political discussions of our neighbours to the south.

To end, I'd like to wish both Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Green all the best of the season and for the coming year.
