Thanks Jeff, for the great picture of Randy our rebel MPP. I do believe if the truth was known, you would be astounded by the numbers of the 12000 households this paper reaches, who are in agreement with Mr. Hillier. Many of us certainly question the direction given by our… READ MORE

I am responding to the Nov 5th article, 'Lockdowns, Restrictions & Our MPP.' As one of Randy Hillier's 17,000 Twitter followers, I know of 10+ other people who don't have Twitter accounts who also hold similar views to MPP Hillier's; and we appreciate that we have a voice in the… READ MORE

Considering that we have 4 seasons and that winter can be l-o-o-o-ong, why not flip that feeling of hating winter into a more positive, embracing one? Dress in layers of clothing, warm mitts and step outside...try to have a positive attitude. Just go out for 10-15 minutes initially. Just look… READ MORE

An excellent article on the need for Integration of Frontenac Municipalities. Judging by the response, many agree that we are significantly over governed and over taxed - most especially in Central Frontenac. It is clear that the tax increases here are unsustainable. This Township just doesn't work with too few… READ MORE

Mr. Green, You raised interesting points in your editorial referencing the integration of Frontenac Municipalities. Your key argument pertains to the differing tax rates. You did present numbers demonstrating the relatively significant difference between the tax rates. I assume that in each township, the Property value, Education Tax and County… READ MORE

I spent most of my life in B.C. and never realized there were this many bureaucrats in the world until I moved to Ontario. 27,000 taxpayers cannot support this bureaucracy. They are constantly asking for more employees and better facilities to house them. Bureaucrats do not generate wealth, if anything they… READ MORE

Premier ‘Dougie’, you got it right!  We cannot allow electors in individual municipalities to decide what type of voting system they want!  Why just think of the consequences:  increased voter turnout, policies reflecting their community’s wishes and needs, or even citizens having a greater respect and interest in democracy.  No… READ MORE

Rural communities have struggled for survival and significance for a very long time effectively since the WW II.  The northern part of Frontenac County has not been an exception but we have been able to retain many services and organizations that keep a community alive.  When I drive around Sharbot… READ MORE

We total 27,000 folks here Seriously Who was the brainiac that thought of splitting it into five municipalities Why are there 5 municipalities, 5 councils, 5 administrations, 5 CAO's  5 times the staff required, 5 times the machinery?  All charging… READ MORE

In the Frontenac News editorial "Contemplating winter with the COVID" (Oct 7, 2020) the editorial writer raises an interesting issue, that of the role of doctors helping to find a way through the maze of possibilities. Mr Green certainly appreciates their sharing of information and expertise, but does not comment… READ MORE

Yet again we have the “pleasure” of Randy Hillier weighing in on whether we should be required to follow health guidelines. I do agree with Mr. Hillier that our Provincial and Federal government actions have increased our fatality rate, but not by enforcing mask policies but by not resourcing and… READ MORE

A longtime acquaintance of mine once quipped that "politicians are like diapers.  They should be changed often, and for the same reason."  There's an awful stench in Lanark - Frontenac - Kingston that will only be remedied if the baby, and the bathwater purporting to represent this region, are dispatched… READ MORE

Over the course of the summer South Frontenac Township has gone to great effort and expense to upgrade the multi-sport courts at Centennial Park and Gerald Ball Memorial Park, and they are beautiful! The surfaces are pristine, and with good care, should last many years. Over the weeks since Centennial… READ MORE
