Dear MPP Hillier:
Had it not been for the efforts of Jeff Green and the Frontenac News team's report, I probably would not have known what you have been up to; dragging down the FordNation and me for that matter. You are supporting America's Frontline Doctors, a US based group, which is advocating… READ MORE
A Canadian Covid Vaccine?
As we learn to live with Covid, there is a growing threat that a Canadian vaccine will not be available for years. The partnership with the Chinese to develop a vaccine effectively ended with the Meng extradition judgment. Since that judgment, at least one Canadian company has requested approval to… READ MORE
re - Heath Unit
In response to your letter posted in the July 16th Frontenac News, accusing the Health Unit of working ass backwards by mandating everyone to wear masks in commercial establishments let me say this . I quote you “masks prevent those wearing the mask from spreading the virus. If you don’t… READ MORE
Hacking the cure
There has been a lot of press recently about Russian attempts to hack British, American and Canadian research on Covid-19. Presumably, they want to steal our secrets related to cures and vaccines. The first question this brings to my mind is “Why are they secrets?” Covid-19 is a pandemic. It… READ MORE
RE - The mask debate is over
Just read your editorial about face masks in the July 10 edition. The second paragraph is incorrect - “As a cluster of cases ensued, a Section 22 order under the Public Health Aid made KFL&A the only region in Ontario where masks must be worn in all commercial establishments.” We… READ MORE
Re- Health Unit
The Health unit is working ass backwards! With 14 cases of Covid19 in the county, why not force those infected to stay at home and wear a mask, rather than everyone else in the county? Masks prevent those wearing the mask from spreading the virus. If you don't have the… READ MORE
Re Fairmount visits
I recently read your article on the wonderful things that Fairmount Home are doing to connect their residents with loved ones during this time of separation. Fairmount is now offering outside visits with our loved ones who reside with them. They currently have 2 gazebo type structures set up with… READ MORE
Re - Hillier tweet
“ if mandatory masks are a true solution to prevent Covid then why have the rates of infection been declining without them . It would then also be false to continue with restrictions and social distancing if masks are the solution . Maybe a course in logic is on order.”… READ MORE

Re – The uncomfortable truth
Do you remember some brief moment in your life when you were unfairly treated, slighted ,finding yourself the odd man out, a minority of one? Now imagine reliving that moment over and over and over in a variety of settings and social interactions. This is the landscape that Amrit Kaillon… READ MORE
Caremongering spreads
The Sharbot Lake Lions club and Frontenac Masonic Lodge each have township permission to collect refundable bottles and cans at the township landfill sites. The Masonic lodge collects at the Olden site and the Lions at Oso and Hinchinbrooke sites. Each site has a small shed where people can leave… READ MORE
Re - white privilege and deep-rooted racism
Thank you so much for the articles by Amrit Kaillon and Ben Callender. I hope they help inform some of us white, privileged people in this area to the extent that systemic, deeply rooted racism does exist in our society. Despite what some of our government representatives have said (local… READ MORE
Re - Gospel music at Parham United Church
I would like to thank the United Church and whoever is responsible to the half hour gospel music being played on Sunday morning. With this “keep apart” situation, we sometimes forget what day it is. It is uplifting to be reminded it is Sunday. May Howes READ MORE
Re - targetting youth
Last week I read a letter to the editor about break-ins at the old Hinchinbrooke Public School. I was sad to see that youth were being targeted as the culprits for these break-ins. Currently we are in the midst of celebrating Youth Month and highlighting youth in this community for… READ MORE
Re - upside down flag
As a veteran, I agree with the article that it is a disgrace to display our countries flag incorrectly. As a country, our sailors, soldiers and airmen fought for the right of expression and free speech. Although I disagree with the manner this person has take to express themselves, I… READ MORE
Troubling Post
We found a post in your May 21st edition very troubling. The one on page 8 with the Canadian flag and the information highlighting the peoples personal address. The poster of the add saying disrespect. If that were their intention, Canada still has freedom of thought and speech. It is… READ MORE
