Re Fur

Re - waste fee in SF
We are concerned and puzzled to learn that the Township of South Frontenac is trying to eliminate the current bag tag system, also known as pay as you throw (PAYT), and lump the waste disposal fee into property taxes. PAYT is based on two guiding principles: 1- the polluter pays,… READ MORE
Re: Left wing conspiracy and About that elephant
We’re back to ‘outing lefties’ are we? I guess, not surprisingly, it didn’t take long for the new fascism to rear its ugly head in our corner of the world, since it’s always been here, lurking under the surface, reserved for private conversations. But it has now been given a… READ MORE
Re: Forsey and Castro
Helen Forsey’s gushing tribute to El Commandante and praise for Trudeau II’s supposed “guts” is emblematic of the naïveté that results in mass graves-or ignores them when they are being dug. Since she values truth, let’s talk about truth. While Ms. Forsey was ‘finding herself’ with CUSO in Latin America,… READ MORE
Re – Trudeau and Castro
Fidel Castro was a controversial and legendary figure, with amazing accomplishments in health and education - exactly as Justin Trudeau said. I am proud that our Prime Minister has the guts to speak the truth about the late Cuban President. Despite flaws and errors, Castro was too great a leader… READ MORE
Re – Raised Eyebrows
In printing by letter – Rasied Eybrows on November 10, your editing changed the intent. My concern was to suggest the trail head in Verona be named for Anne Marie Young, because of the waste of money spent on a trail from Kingston City limits to Sharbot Lake to connect… READ MORE
Left wing conspiracy!
Oh dear! Just when I thought we were all saved by Donald's election, along comes a correspondent to the news, who suggests (November 24) that there are still remnants of leftish, liberal thoughts infecting the body civil and politic, including publisher and editor, Mr. Green. Oh my! In a week… READ MORE
Re: South Frontenac budget
Having read the front page (South Frontenac budget Set for 2.2% tax increase, Nov 17th) I am wondering where common sense has gone with South Frontenac council? An increase of 2.2% every year for 10 years is above the cost of living for Ontario & above any income increase we may… READ MORE
Re: About that Elephant
Jeff Green, in his editoral "About that elephant, Nov 17/16" delineates his view from the left corner of his left eye in the November 17, 2016 issue of the Frontenac News. As a loyal and dedicated member of the main stream libbie movement, his statements me, specifically, ..."my feelings of… READ MORE
Re: Funds transfer raises eyebrows at County
Letter Funds transfer raises eyebrows at County, Sep 29/16 Taxpayer eyebrows should be raised with fund transfers from the Kingston/Frontenac renovated program to the K&P Trail.

Re: Hartington Protest Walk
First of all, I want to thank Frontenac News for covering The Hartington Protest walk, Oct 20/16. As a community we are working hard to fund our fight to protect our vulnerable water supply. This proposed subdivision poses a very real threat to both the quantity and quality of our… READ MORE
Re: Why Canada needs to be wary of President Hillary Clinton
Re: Why Canada needs to be wary of President Hillary Clinton, Frontenac News , Oct 13/16 While most Americans share a communal disappointment with the ethical caliber of this year's American presidential candidates, it seem strange and misplaced that the Frontenac News' Jeff Green would choose Hillary Clinton as a primary… READ MORE
Frontenac County Survey!
If County Staff and Council wants to know what residents think or know about Frontenac County, this survey will not provide many answers. Many potential responders are seasonal property owners and they will not know this survey even exists. Most permanent residents actually have some serious thoughts and opinions but… READ MORE
Re Frontenac County transfer from reserves to K&P Trail
Re Frontenac County transfer from reserves to K&P Trail, (A matter of Trust, Editorial by Jeff Green, Sept 29) Our Frontenac County Council recently did what I see as a travesty of social justice by choosing to take $300,000 from a reserve fund geared at helping low-income residents to remain in… READ MORE
Re: “Can't kick the cat..”
In reference to Edie Cairns’ letter titled "Can’t kick the cat..." (Frontenac News, October 6, 2016), unfortunately I *have* seen people commit this crime, but what I think she is trying to say doesn't really have much to do with the true facts of the situation of life in Ontario.… READ MORE
