I have been following the Air B&B controversy in both North and Central Frontenac Townships.  As I have work for three different Municipaliies over my working career I have seen the difficulties municipal governments get into by either procrastinating or ignoring the facts!  First of all the Rural and Urdan… READ MORE

I enjoyed your feature about the Cecropia moth.  Shortly thereafter we had a helicopter spraying around a lake on our property, supposedly for gypsy moths.  I have yet to see a gypsy moth caterpillar this year, or even a tent caterpillar. My concern is that the spray doesn't discriminate which… READ MORE

Unfortunately I am writing to share that we noted 5 of the Green Party of Ontario election signs had been removed from the Ardoch Rd. Sometime Saturday morning between 8 am and 1 pm. How sad that folks in this neighbourhood are threatened by differing opinions. Haven’t had time to… READ MORE

Regarding the Editorial that appears in your May 12th issue, and its reference in quotations to the term "freedom convoy", and its reference to the term that was not in quotations, which was Ottawa Occupation. Presumably this verbiage was presented in this manner by the writer to reflect his opinion… READ MORE

I have to admit I was a bit shocked when I received my most recent tax bill. I am uncertain why the taxes are so high from South to Central Frontenac, and I get fewer services?  Where is the justification? Don't get me wrong, while I appreciate that my road… READ MORE

Way to go for all the young adults in our community to take the time and effort to organize the ATV ride to help the Van Heyst family.. although they said the ride was a success I was truly disappointed to read about the OPP interfering with a spot check.… READ MORE

Odd that Bob Lloyd in his letter of complaint points the finger at the Liberal government (who have done so much more for the suffering public than any Conservative government in history) when fully 50% of the taxes elevating the cost of climate-killing gasoline is filling the Provincial PC coffers that… READ MORE

I agree with Mr. Lloyd's letter that Prime Minister Trudeau is charging too much for gasoline. I also agree that we should vote Mr. Trudeau out. He should be replaced by Doug Ford who has already given us Buck a Beer and free license plates. I have no doubt that… READ MORE

Upon reading last week’s letter to the editor (Enough is Enough), I felt compelled to respond. Immigrants are not granted housing subsidies except where a claim of asylum is approved, and that support is time-limited. The rest must fend for themselves in the housing market as do native-born Canadians. Immigration… READ MORE

Your government is making it harder for all seniors to survive. For example, just look at today’s high price you are charging us for fuel to fill our cars and trucks, $185.9 at the pumps this Easter weekend. What a rip off again. Mr. Trudeau, our truckers are also hurting… READ MORE

I was taught from a very young age an important thing about money. My father was a young boy going through the great depression in the 1930's. The word debt back in those days was the worst of all four-letter words. It is why so many people suffered and lost… READ MORE

Unfortunately, again I am not in favor of this budget.  I would like to offer you my reasoning for coming to this decision. I do not feel this budget is equitable. Although I am grateful that the residents in the Wilkinson area are finally going to see some much needed… READ MORE

Traffic traversing the access road to Arden from Highway 7 are faced with a pot-holed and rutted adventure that is not found either north or south of the hamlet. The lack of upgrading from Highway 7 to Arden seems bizarre, particularly given the upsurge in traffic through the village due… READ MORE

A recent experience of mine has shown why landowners should carefully examine all important documents. In 1974, forty-eight years ago, my family bought a 460-acre woodlot in the Township of North Frontenac. Starting about twenty years ago, maps began to circulate indicating that someone (probably MPAC or the Township) believed… READ MORE

I am ashamed to be Canadian. The freedom convoy was disgusting. For what freedom? Whose freedom were they protesting? This wasn’t a protest, it was a siege demanding to see the Prime Minister while threatening his life – also threatening the Parliament buildings, desecrating the monuments of Terry Fox, dancing… READ MORE
