I am amazed as well as disappointed after looking through the latest issue of your paper. There was no vitriol. There was no alarm. There was nothing! Our beloved Premier had arbitrarily curtailed certain inalienable rights from within the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and, on the surface, it… READ MORE

This kind of bureaucratic nonsense drives me crazy. Did Jeff even ask what the entire cost would be?? My guess is too much $$$.  A lot of people living in Frontenac are experiencing horrible finacial problems during these hard times.  Why, why would the township throw all that money at… READ MORE

By the time this is published, I expect that the third wave will have exceeded the previous two and we will have let crisis dictate our path forward to deal with the corona virus. Opinions, feelings, hunches, will not matter. Dr. Martin Betts, the head of critical care for Scarborough… READ MORE

As thoughtful and thinking citizens of a free society, it is our responsibility to carefully distill any information provided to us and to make our own independent decisions about what is true and what is not.

The uninformed letters last week from Mary DeBassecourt and Carol Pepper serve only to mislead, and worse, contribute to the vaccine fear and hesitancy which will prevent us from ever achieving the level of community immunity that is needed to put this nightmare behind us.  Publishing those fact-free opinions is… READ MORE

Never have I been moved to write a response to a letter to the editor until reading one about climate change. Let's start with birds, birds, birds – hypothetical questions have best use in planning for and adopting solutions. According to the Audubon society 1 billion birds die each year… READ MORE

I deeply value our Frontenac News community paper. I also appreciate the opportunity to speak out frankly on important issues. I am bewildered at the overwhelming eagerness to receive the COVID shot, considering it is an experimental shot that even health officials are cautioning does not provide immunity nor prevent… READ MORE

In the editorial “60 is the new 80 Where Vaccine is Concerned” I found serious information presented in a humourous way.  Is there a certain giddiness about the fact that our area is now receiving vaccines? It’s as if to say, “They (the vaccines) are here now . . .… READ MORE

The closing of MOM Restaurant in Verona is the sad end of an era of support and service to our community. MOM was a gathering place for friends and families; a place for celebrations and support; a place to gather after church; a place for travellers to enjoy great food… READ MORE
