Ken Fisher urges your readers to vote Liberal to stop radical cuts to the public service (letters, May 29). The problem is that in the long run this will simply result in even more draconian measures. In 1990 Ontario's debt stood at just over $38 billion; in 2015 it will… READ MORE

Our local MPP, Randy Hillier, complains about the Samsung Boondoggle when he criticizes the green energy policies of the Liberal government. He also says that farmers should not be getting revenue from solar panels at the expense of hydro ratepayers. His solution is to have our electricity produced by “cheap”… READ MORE

Hydro One is warning those living in South Frontenac they will be spraying Garlon “as part of its vegetation management program, on the condition that Hydro One reviews the program with township staff, advises adjacent property owners in advance of spraying and does no spraying adjacent to organic farming operations.”… READ MORE

It is a fact that our province is seriously in debt. The Liberal path to a balanced budget and job creation moves in the direction of wage stability, the Ontario Pension Plan and reducing energy costs. Now, in response to the NDP platform, 34 high-profile NDPers such as Judy Rebick… READ MORE

Carol Pepper in her May 22/14 comment, "Defend Our Climate Gathering" mentions that this is all about defending our communities, rights, economy, health, sovereignty, etc. The truth is that this movement started out identified as "global warming", but was hastily changed to "climate change" as the originators saw that global… READ MORE

I was in attendance at the “Defend Our Climate” gathering in Sharbot Lake as reported in your last issue of The Frontenac News. I was pleased that Julie Druker came to interview the group. It is probably not possible to have a more diverse array of answers to her question,… READ MORE

The provincial government believes that you can feed a resident in a nursing home three meals and two snacks a day if they give you $7.93 per day! All you grocery shoppers need to try this challenge. Maybe you could do it one day, but how about every day? Don't… READ MORE

Your editorial about Randy Hillier (May 8, 2014) pointed out that he prides himself on putting his constituents above his party. This makes me wonder why he follows the party line when it comes to solar energy and the Green Energy Act. Many farmers in Mr. Hillier's riding have solar… READ MORE

This past week the long awaited and much anticipated documentary production of 'The Lost Highway' aired on TVO. While the production by film makers and producers Derreck Roemer and Neil Graham took four years of filming and editing, it unfortunately represents a major disappointment to area residents.

I am very concerned about the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which is currently being negotiated without public input. Already over 125,000 have signed the Say No to Internet Censorship petition. I encourage everyone to learn more before it’s too late about TPP Internet Censorship at OpenMedia.org/Censorship. Experts have pointed out… READ MORE

  Re: Fair Elections Act I have always thought that civility and respect for others were core values for conservatives. Leslie Frost, Bill Davis, Peter Lougheed, Robert Stanfield and Joe Clark were all great conservatives and they were all scrupulously polite and respectful.Pierre Poilievre and Stephen Harper? abusive and impolite;… READ MORE

  Flaherty good friend to disabled people I am disabled. This past Thursday, I lost a good friend when Jim Flaherty passed away. Because of Mr. Flaherty's family circumstances, he was sensitive to persons with disabilities and had done much to help us; "Us", being over 3.5 million Canadians living… READ MORE

  Re: Euthenasia In Jule Koch's letter (Re: Euthenasia, April 3/14) about an assisted suicide bill, she mentions that Aspirin was only marketed in 1900. She supposes that before aspirin, people just stoically suffered without help or hope, or at least that's the way I read it. I have been a chronic… READ MORE

  Re: Euthenasia Quebec’s Bill 52, which would allow euthanasia and assisted suicide, is temporarily in limbo because of the election. However last week, on March 27, Manitoba PC MP Steven Fletcher announced his intention to introduce two bills that would allow assisted suicide. These bills are nothing other than… READ MORE

Re: Marriage & Charter In regards to Ian Whillans’ March 13 letter to the editor (Letters, Frontenac News, Mar 13/14) on Jule Koch's perspective on marriage (Letters, Frontenac News, Mar 6/14), you referred to her view as being a rant; I beg to differ. Your pathetic reference to Jule's argument for procreation (breeding… READ MORE
