Re: Road 38 overpass removal
I read with interest the notice in the last issue of the Frontenac News calling for tenders for Road 38 overpass removal. There are probably not too many people living in Sharbot Lake today who were living here prior to the construction of the overpass. I am one of them.… READ MORE
Help Nepal
I have traveled all over the world – 79 countries in fact, and honestly loved Nepal. The people were poor but so kind, decent, hospitable and trustworthy. In fact it was a lot nicer place and population than most first world countries. So if you can spare even a $10… READ MORE
The Canadian Senate
Question for the Day – What is left over from 1837, is unelected, unaccountable, unrepentant, whose “purpose is to protect the Prime Minister”and costs each Canadian about $2,500 each year to the tune of $90 million every year? And how does that make you feel? Norm Hart READ MORE
Re: Euthanasia
I celebrate the court's decision on assisted suicide because it gives people back some rights over their own body and mind. Society often misuses energy trying fruitlessly to restrict what people do with their own body. I'm grateful that we are moving towards being responsible for our own bodies. The… READ MORE
Re: All-candidates meetings
I'd like to float the idea that at the upcoming All Candidates meetings, we the people get the last word. We get to ask a question, the candidates answer, and then we get an optional ten second closing statement. P.S. on the TFSA: Scott Reid and the Conservatives supported a… READ MORE
Re: Scott Reid flyer
I think Steve Duggan (Re: Scott Reid's flyer, April 23) was being a bit harsh on Scott Reid. The flyer, for the first time, gives actual choices, rather than the usual, "Are you for/against pedophiles, terrorists, etc." This is a big first step for Mr. Reid and should be applauded.… READ MORE
Tick season
I was talking to a lady who has five riding horses, and she told me that to protect against the ticks that carry Lyme's disease, people should get Guinea Hens, at least one. Their favorite food is ticks. We always had one on our farm to warn us of owls… READ MORE
Re: Euthanasia
(Letters, April 23, 2015) Dr. Pattenden makes a compelling argument that even I can comprehend and sympathize with, but there is one thing that kills the "bill." The reality is that in nations where euthanasia was/has been/is legalized, it has always resulted in the slippery slope slide, where it has… READ MORE
Re: Euthanasia
After reading several stories about euthanasia, I thought I’d better let you know our family experiences in the Netherlands about this very slippery slope. My Mom was diagnosed with what the doctor told us was a “sister” of cancer in February 1965. Before Christmas of that year, we did not… READ MORE
Re: Scott Reid Flyer
Once again, Scott Reid's "Keeping in Touch" pamphlet arrived in my mailbox, courtesy of my tax dollars. This one attempts to discredit Justin Trudeau for making a tongue-in-cheek remark about the use of our CF-18s. Fortunately, Mr. Reid shows that Jason Kenney was quick to chastise Trudeau for his "juvenile… READ MORE
Re: Euthanasia
In response to Jule Koch Brison’s Letter to the Editor in the March 19 edition which claims the recent Supreme Court decision supporting choice for end of life is “subverting democracy”, the following information needs to be available to readers to correct the misleading conclusions outlined in the letter. The… READ MORE
Re: Wind resistance in Denbigh
First I would like to correct Mr. Bonnetta. His "Wind resistance in Denbigh", April 16 article is not entirely accurate. This meeting was supposed to be a question answer session not a debate. So how can he come away with the title wind resistance? Most of the people at the meeting… READ MORE
Re: Euthanasia
I have been reading letters to the editor and feel I must express my opinion regarding assisted suicide. I sat beside my mother, two sisters, a sister-in-law, a brother and a few friends dying with cancer, never wishing any one of them to depart before their natural time. What is… READ MORE
Re: reduced speed limits
I wanted to address questions raised by Martyn Jenkyn (Letters, April 16) about a motion to investigate a speed limit on a section of Road #38 around the Hinchinbrooke Transmission Station. The motion came about as a result of a number of discussions with families living along that stretch of… READ MORE
Re: Scott Reid Flyer
The Boston Marathon attack was on April 15, 2013. On June 13, 2013, then-Minister Vic Toews announced funding for the Kanishka Project to research the causes and techniques of terrorism. Yet our MP Scott Reid sends out a flyer denigrating the attempt to "figure out its (terrorism's) root causes" and… READ MORE
