Re - Frontenac Paramedic Services (page 1, April 18)
Does the OMA do any physical work in paramedic services? Or is it just more bloated administrators? Ont. is in crisis; the fat has to be cut from over admin. The people who make the designs rarely do the job. With your new app, why is there not a comment… READ MORE

Keep out of the weeds
While I understand Mayor Vandewal’s regret that Hillier, now turfed from the Conservative caucus, no longer wields the influence he once did, I am puzzled by his statement that we in South Frontenac had long been waiting patiently for someone – one might infer someone Conservative - to represent us.… READ MORE
Spend grant money on roads
In as much as the Township and the County have so unexpectedly received funds from the Province of Ontario, I would suggest to both that those funds should be spent on improving our roads! I realize that the County has no roads, but it does receive the road tax rebate… READ MORE
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: 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

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?
