On July 3 our postmistress was awoken at 6am by a noise, which when she investigated was an intruder trying to get into her kitchen window. She phoned the OPP, and the person who answered told her it would be a while due to shift change. This should be investigated… READ MORE

I enjoyed doing the Canadian Trivia Quiz, but oh oh oh – there was a grievous mistake in your very first question. I was dumbfounded when the answer you gave was that Alexander Muir wrote “O Canada”. I was so surprised that I went to my encyclopaedia. Sure enough, Alexander… READ MORE
