Letter to the Editor Dear Sir, This has been a really bad winter weather-wise and it is obvious that the usually perceptive brains in MOM (Municipality of Meaford) are not fully awake. The KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle appears to be no longer used especially when discussing our local library and high school. Firstly, the library and the high school are...

Letter to the Editor Dear Mr Vance, You are wrong. Larry Miller should be applauded for his standing up for his views and the views of many Canadians. People leave their countries' to come to Canada for a variety of reasons. Yes, we have and will continue to welcome immigrants with open arms IF they are intending to be contributing citizens of our...

Letter Editor, It is time we tried to understand each other instead of being suspicious. Maybe we just see in strangers what we fear in ourselves. Immigrants bring new concepts and have since there were immigrants. My husband had to train himself to lose his accent because of the bigotry against the Scots in 1956.  There used to be an expression that...

Letter to the Editor Mr. Editor, Your immediate and direct critique of MP Miller's recent radio response to a listener was most appropriate. You were probably the first of many commentators and journalists across this nation to take exception to the twisted mindset of the Larry Miller Conservatives. Unfortunately, there are far too many in our population who agree with Miller's...

Letter to the Editor Editor, Recent comments made by Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MP Larry Miller regarding traditional face coverings serve to underline the disconnect between the Harper Government and Canadian citizens. Miller, in remarks on an open line radio show, commented that, “If you’re not willing to show your face…if you don’t want to do that, stay the hell where you came...

Letter to the Editor Editor, the following letter has been sent to Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MP, Larry Miller Larry, In the last year on at least two occasions you have revealed to your constituents that you are not a strong proponent of Canada's laws on religious freedom or our charter of rights and freedoms. Surely you know that religious freedoms and human rights are protections...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Recently I attended a citizen’s protest in Owen Sound against the passing of Bill C- 51, “An Act to enact the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act and the Secure Air Travel Act, to amend the Criminal Code, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and to make related...

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, The members of the so-called Sydenham Independence Group seem to believe that there is a currently existing legal procedure called a Petition of Right that derives from the 1628 petition submitted by Parliament to Charles I. According to them, it seems that all that is necessary for Sydenham to secede from Meaford is that...

Letter to the Editor Editor, To all those who worked on "frozen " Collingwood Street today...Thursday, March 5th : I am sure our neighbours on Collingwood  Street will join us in saying ..."Well  Done and Many Thanks"  to each and every member of the team! Each and every member, whether Municipal or Private, worked in freezing temperatures from very early morning until after dark...

Letter to the Editor Dear Sir, With regards to your editorial dated Friday 6th March 2014, concerning the Meaford budget, I would like to make the following comments. 1. This new council did a 'good' job in producing a tax levy increase of 1.32%  which was down from the 2.8% that staff had originally proposed. If they had waited one day longer,...
