I suppose it should come as no surprise that Reeve Hogg would have “no regrets” over the decision to support industrial wind turbines (No Regrets Over Wind turbines - AH Reeve Henry Hogg, Sep 10/15) - after all, it was his call that was the deciding vote. It seems, however,… READ MORE

Dear Mr. Reid, I beg you to use your influence within the Conservative caucus to ease the sincere desire of Canadians to welcome many more Syrian refugees (10,000 this year, followed by similar numbers in succeeding years). Your government's current commitment is sorely inadequate. Europe, particularly Greece, Hungary, and Germany,… READ MORE

Catherine Duchene makes many valid points in her letter to the editor (Re: Algonquin Land Claim) in the Frontenac News on September 3. Ninety percent of the article I agree with. However when she starts to talk about Status and Non-Status Natives she is playing right into what the Federal… READ MORE

For the past 20 years in Ontario, there has been an ongoing land claim with the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan and the Algonquins of Ontario. This claim is rather large and takes in the City of Ottawa. We have seen some of the issues ongoing like the development of the Chaudiere… READ MORE

The two letters, (Re: Wind Turbines)  and (Industrial Scale Solar Fields) in the August 20 edition of the Frontenac News are prime examples of hysteria about renewable energy. In the first letter, Mr. Goodspeed has once again repeated his tired refrain about preserving our "pristine" heritage by severely limiting renewable projects.… READ MORE

I would like to reply to Glen Pearce's letter (Re: Conservationists of Frontenac Addington) on August 6, 2015 and to refute all of the information in his letter. First of all, I would like to state that COFA (Conservationists of Frontenac Addington) was not "morphed" from the Federation for the Preservation… READ MORE

I am writing this letter as I am very upset, like many in our area, with the condition of the Arden Road. There is approximately a five-kilometre section of road that is in dire need of resurfacing. The section in question is the road heading to Tamworth from Cranberry Lake… READ MORE

It occurred to me after reading the article (South Frontenac Museum opens in Hartington, Aug 20/15) that there are a great many people who deserve thanks for their contributions to this event, from its humble beginnings in my cottage in August of 2001 to the present. Starting with the founding members:… READ MORE

I spent a day cycling through Prince Edward County recently, and I can't help thinking that this is a community that appreciates and understands the value of their rural heritage. They’ve done a great job of preserving their rural environment and developing tourism without ruining their inheritance. Unfortunately, here in… READ MORE

While I enjoyed the article about Tom Neal (Thomas Neal: A Son Remembers, Jul 30/15) and knew and respected Tom for many years (7 as an employee of Frontenac County) I feel I must correct a couple of things in the article. The article states that Tom served on County… READ MORE

This is “the straw that breaks the camel's back!” One of the finest Canadians of the last century has died and no state funeral and a P.M. that was too shallow to even attend her funeral. Sure, Flora didn’t support Harper because she was a P.C. back when it was… READ MORE

As a long time resident of Barrie Township, and Frontenac County, I read the articles on our history with interest, I also understand that when history is being retold, inaccuracies occasionally creep in (Thomas Neal, A Son Remembers, Jul 30/15)A Son Remembers, Jul 30/15). I also believe there is an additional… READ MORE
