The comparison between Ontario and California’s respective debt status as expressed in Edward Kennedy’s letter (Election Blues, Jun 26/14), is an invidious one. This negative interpretation of Ontario’s debt, is based upon a study by the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute, a body which purports to be highly academic and objective but which… READ MORE

I give Councillor Norm Guntensperger credit for being the one to raise an important, and potentially serious, issue at Central Frontenac Council – regarding bringing in mandatory septic system inspections. I join with the proponents of the plan in their desire to ensure that septic systems are in working order… READ MORE

Our communities of Central Frontenac are very fortunate to have such dedicated and caring volunteers. Too many times we take their hard work for granted so as a citizen of this area I would like to say thank you to these people. Just a few examples which we read about… READ MORE

On June 17, I had the great pleasure of attending the preview of 6 videos which will be used to promote Central Frontenac as a wonderful place to live. The “stars” of the videos are people who live here because of the lifestyle they are able to enjoy. However, these… READ MORE

John Wallace ("Remember liberal mismanagement when you vote" 12/06/2014 Frontenac News) should have saved his breath. When you have an electorate who placed into office a chronic promise breaker for three consecutive terms, you have to understand that "untarions", especially in the Toronto area, are out to lunch. Really, there… READ MORE

From the point of view of green energy, the election of the provincial Liberals is a good thing as a Conservative victory would have meant the end of the green energy program. However, election of the Liberals does not automatically mean that we will be getting our electricity from renewable… READ MORE

Again the MNR has blown it. Approximately 10 years ago I saw stocking of bass and pickerel that were 2” long, just a nice size to feed the existing pike, perch, walleye and loons. Restock walleye of a decent size and we may get our lakes back. We are losing… READ MORE

I read with some amusement Randy Hillier's characterization of himself as the “best advocate” of his constituents (Candidates Primer for 2014 Provincial Election in LFL&A). In particular, he states: "When someone needs assistance and all they receive from a ministry or government department is a form letter, it doesn't help… READ MORE

Community members gathered in Denbigh on April 28 for a town hall meeting. The meeting was publicized in the Frontenac News. It was publicly posted, with its agenda, at the post office, the community centre, and was available online. The members of the community who attended did not deserve to… READ MORE

Some remember the many Liberal blunders in the last ten years, but most remember the worst of the worst: the billion dollar gas plant cancellation. A billion dollars of wasted taxpayers’ money to get two members voted into the liberal government. Remember the solar panel waste of our tax dollars:… READ MORE

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
