Re - Following government leadership?
I read, with increasing disquiet, the letter to the editor regarding the federal government in your latest edition (2020-08-30). While I share Mr. Balogh’s concern regarding ethical breaches, his inflammatory language poorly serves his cause. It is concerning that he contrasts lawful public health measures taken by duly elected officials… READ MORE
re: Following Government Leadership? (Aug. 27, p.2)
Your correspondent G. Leslie Balogh asserts that the pandemic mandate is "more 'fear-mongering' than a genuine medical reality — filled with medical propaganda and manipulation." What rock was he born under? A Canadian citizen like himself, I also taught high school — science in my case, for thirty years. I… READ MORE
Following Government Leadership?
I have lived most of my adult life in Canada. I am a Canadian Citizen. And I am disgusted with the gutlessness of many of the Canadians I have been in contact with and the leadership of elected officials at all levels of government. I take no measure of reassurance… READ MORE
re Shining Waters Line article
I am writing in regard to the article in the Aug. 20th Edition of the Frontenac News regarding the alternate plan proposed by the Sharbot Lake Via Rail Station Committee. I noted that no one on this committee lived in the village of Sharbot Lake when the trains ran through… READ MORE
Re – cell tower in Snow Road
To my fellow neighbors; I’m writing today with a heavy heart. As some of you may have heard, our Government partnered with private industry, are in the final stages of public consultation before moving forward with an absolutely absurd 300-foot cell phone tower which they are hoping to locate in… READ MORE
Re – new railway plan
As a taxpayer and resident of Frontenac Central Frontenac, I was concerned when I read the article in the August 20, 2020, vol. 20, no.33 paper, entitled “Sharbot Lake group floating new railway plan.” I felt it was necessary to voice my thoughts and opinions. I have lived in Sharbot… READ MORE
Re- Coronavirus diary
The staff at Frontenac News have continued to do a great job through the Pandemic period reporting to the readership BUT front page news is not where many of us look when the paper arrives. Personally, I want to check out Pearl's Coronavirus Diary found under the Mississippi column. Accolades to… READ MORE
Dear MPP Hillier:
Had it not been for the efforts of Jeff Green and the Frontenac News team's report, I probably would not have known what you have been up to; dragging down the FordNation and me for that matter. You are supporting America's Frontline Doctors, a US based group, which is advocating… READ MORE
A Canadian Covid Vaccine?
As we learn to live with Covid, there is a growing threat that a Canadian vaccine will not be available for years. The partnership with the Chinese to develop a vaccine effectively ended with the Meng extradition judgment. Since that judgment, at least one Canadian company has requested approval to… READ MORE
re - Heath Unit
In response to your letter posted in the July 16th Frontenac News, accusing the Health Unit of working ass backwards by mandating everyone to wear masks in commercial establishments let me say this . I quote you “masks prevent those wearing the mask from spreading the virus. If you don’t… READ MORE
Hacking the cure
There has been a lot of press recently about Russian attempts to hack British, American and Canadian research on Covid-19. Presumably, they want to steal our secrets related to cures and vaccines. The first question this brings to my mind is “Why are they secrets?” Covid-19 is a pandemic. It… READ MORE
RE - The mask debate is over
Just read your editorial about face masks in the July 10 edition. The second paragraph is incorrect - “As a cluster of cases ensued, a Section 22 order under the Public Health Aid made KFL&A the only region in Ontario where masks must be worn in all commercial establishments.” We… READ MORE
Re- Health Unit
The Health unit is working ass backwards! With 14 cases of Covid19 in the county, why not force those infected to stay at home and wear a mask, rather than everyone else in the county? Masks prevent those wearing the mask from spreading the virus. If you don't have the… READ MORE
Re Fairmount visits
I recently read your article on the wonderful things that Fairmount Home are doing to connect their residents with loved ones during this time of separation. Fairmount is now offering outside visits with our loved ones who reside with them. They currently have 2 gazebo type structures set up with… READ MORE
Re - Hillier tweet
“ if mandatory masks are a true solution to prevent Covid then why have the rates of infection been declining without them . It would then also be false to continue with restrictions and social distancing if masks are the solution . Maybe a course in logic is on order.”… READ MORE
