Re: Enough is Enough
Odd that Bob Lloyd in his letter of complaint points the finger at the Liberal government (who have done so much more for the suffering public than any Conservative government in history) when fully 50% of the taxes elevating the cost of climate-killing gasoline is filling the Provincial PC coffers that… READ MORE
Re: Enough is Enough
I agree with Mr. Lloyd's letter that Prime Minister Trudeau is charging too much for gasoline. I also agree that we should vote Mr. Trudeau out. He should be replaced by Doug Ford who has already given us Buck a Beer and free license plates. I have no doubt that… READ MORE
Re: Enough is Enough
Upon reading last week’s letter to the editor (Enough is Enough), I felt compelled to respond. Immigrants are not granted housing subsidies except where a claim of asylum is approved, and that support is time-limited. The rest must fend for themselves in the housing market as do native-born Canadians. Immigration… READ MORE
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Enough is Enough
Your government is making it harder for all seniors to survive. For example, just look at today’s high price you are charging us for fuel to fill our cars and trucks, $185.9 at the pumps this Easter weekend. What a rip off again. Mr. Trudeau, our truckers are also hurting… READ MORE
Candidates bearing gifts
I was taught from a very young age an important thing about money. My father was a young boy going through the great depression in the 1930's. The word debt back in those days was the worst of all four-letter words. It is why so many people suffered and lost… READ MORE
History is important as it tends to repeat itself.
By the nineties Ontarians had become aware of the virus HIV which changed the way we socialize in Ontario still till this day. Move forward to 2019 and Ontario becomes aware of a virus Covid which has changed the way we socialize in Ontario still to this day. In the… READ MORE
Central Frontenac Budget
Unfortunately, again I am not in favor of this budget. I would like to offer you my reasoning for coming to this decision. I do not feel this budget is equitable. Although I am grateful that the residents in the Wilkinson area are finally going to see some much needed… READ MORE
Sad welcome mat
Traffic traversing the access road to Arden from Highway 7 are faced with a pot-holed and rutted adventure that is not found either north or south of the hamlet. The lack of upgrading from Highway 7 to Arden seems bizarre, particularly given the upsurge in traffic through the village due… READ MORE
Read Your Mail
A recent experience of mine has shown why landowners should carefully examine all important documents. In 1974, forty-eight years ago, my family bought a 460-acre woodlot in the Township of North Frontenac. Starting about twenty years ago, maps began to circulate indicating that someone (probably MPAC or the Township) believed… READ MORE
Ashamed
I am ashamed to be Canadian. The freedom convoy was disgusting. For what freedom? Whose freedom were they protesting? This wasn’t a protest, it was a siege demanding to see the Prime Minister while threatening his life – also threatening the Parliament buildings, desecrating the monuments of Terry Fox, dancing… READ MORE
Popularity vote in
Now with the presentation of the 2022 North Frontenac budget , if said fast, the amount can be slurred that the sting can be deflected. During discussions once again council chose to accept that a new position was required as the job of collecting money, for use permits, was not… READ MORE
Re: Russian Invasion
While I agree that an embargo on oil from Russia should be part of the sanctions, Ted Dolman states "Canada imports a half a billion dollars in Russian oil, mainly in the eastern provinces". As per Statistics Canada, as reported by cbc.ca/news on February 28, Canada has not imported any… READ MORE
Westport Road – let the sandpit owners pay
As per article in March 3rd regarding road repairs. For anyone who hasn't traveled Westport Road, there are potholes that can do serious damage to any vehicle. If you are not familiar with the road, beware!! In 2021 the township hotpatched these holes at least 5 times. Within a week the holes are… READ MORE
Excessive Force Used
I have always been a proud “Canadian” but I was ashamed when on TV I viewed our police putting on gas masks, guns at their sides – shoulder to shoulder, forcing tax paying citizens off the streets that they have paid for. I didn’t see any fighting or disruption. I… READ MORE
Russian Invasion
As we witness the invasion of Ukraine by Russia the West, the sanctions are a start but we will not hit Russia where it hurts: oil imports. I rarely agree with Jason Kenney, but he has rightly pointed out that Canada imports a half a billion dollars in Russian oil,… READ MORE
Ottawa Protest
The Ottawa folks have now given us the clear distinction between protest and occupation. The Ottawa protesters/occupiers have forgotten that one of our founding phrases is “peace, order, and good government” and not as some of protesters/occupiers were claiming that the First Amendment guarantees my ‘free speech’. Oops folks, sorry… READ MORE
