I feel it is imperative to reply to Scott Reid’s comments in the July 18, 2024 print version of the Frontenac News regarding the loss of Quinn’s abattoir.  By focusing narrowly on rebuilding Quinn’s and criticizing federal efforts without offering constructive solutions, Reid misses the opportunity to champion a more… READ MORE

As an engineer with considerable experience in networking, I was quite surprised to see EORN described as "successful since its inception". EORN's trunk fibre network was undeniably a success, but its last-mile projects were a disaster.

As Elon Musk said: "Unless there is more bravery to stand up for what is fair and right, Christianity will perish."  It is… READ MORE
