I read with amusement Ken Fisher's statement in his letter (How will Progessives Vote?, Oct 8/15) to the editor: “Liberal Phil Archambault is well ahead of NDP's John Fenik.” In Archambault's closing statement at the Sharbot Lake All Candidates Meeting, he made a similar claim.

This new riding now has a lot of progressive voters in its north-of-401 Kingston portion. Even their 'Anyone But Conservative' intentions do not account for the fall of support for Conservative Scott Reid in the Lanark-Frontenac parts.

Others have rightly taken issue with Reeve Hogg’s comments on the wind turbine issue. These comments were made during Reeve Hogg's recent phone interview with Mr. Jeff Green.

In view of the recent controversy and anger shown to some Council members who were insulted and verbally abused in recent months during wind turbine discussions, I feel it necessary to clarify why I chose to support the Vibrancy Agreements.

But his statements (Renewable energy hysteria and fear mongering, Letters, Sep 3/15)Renewable energy hysteria and fear mongering, Letters, Sep 3/15),  need to consider alternative views. When folks speak of "pristine" landscapes, they don't necessarily mean "virgin". Clearly our… READ MORE
