Editor, When the Department of National Defence (DND) reached an agreement with TC Energy (TransCanada Pipeline) to lease its land for a pumped storage plant (PSP), many were disappointed by the decision. However, the project is far from approved and has a long way to go before it can become a reality. The proposed PSP will pump 20 million cubic meters...

Editor, It’s easy to sling insults. If by “malcontents” Mr Robertson means people whose businesses have been permanently shuttered by lock-downs, workers terminated because of a mandated pharmaceutical injection, or those who are still prohibited from travelling by rail or air in Canada by discriminatory policies, then yes - we are not content! The eventual easing of some restrictions without any...

Dear Editor, If the plan calls for rebuilding trust in the Ontario Government, we are off to a terrible start. Would you be able to point me to the part of The Statutes of Ontario where the law says that if you’re too young to vote you don’t matter? Or would a person need to contact Doug Ford directly for that...

Editor, Two years ago this week, the first cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Grey-Bruce and the government of Ontario declared a state of emergency, effectively marking the start of the pandemic both locally and provincially. We’ve come so far over the course of the pandemic and are now at a point where nearly all public health measures have been lifted...

Editor, I would like to thank Mr. Robertson for exercising his constitutional right of freedom of speech. The same constitution, which was illegally not upheld during the last two years of governmental tyranny. The same constitution the convoys have been fighting for so people can have the freedom of choice of what they say in a newspaper and what they...

Editor, Congratulations on a well-written and timely article in last week's TMI (What Should We Look For in a Council Candidate?, March 10, 2022). As your article so rightly points out, “….We will only get out of democracy what we put in….” so our evaluation of candidates over the next few months will ultimately determine the next four years for our...

To the Editor, Got accidentally caught in the middle of a 'protest convoy' leaving Owen Sound eastbound around noon Saturday. The fools were stop and start, and then going between 10 and 25 kmh. A bunch of flag-flying yahoos in small trucks, SUVs, cars. Don’t know what their “problem” still is, since most restrictions are over, but I’m pretty sure the median IQ...

Editor, When I took a solemn oath to become a Canadian citizen it was one of the proudest and most emotional days in my life. I became a proud flag waving Canadian! In February, the Canadian flag was hijacked by misguided individuals and their toxic leaders during an unlawful occupation of our Capital. Now my country’s flag is branded as supporting individuals...

Dear Editor, I have come to realize that there is a point we need to remember during the next election. I checked into the cursive writing debate and found out the poor kids are getting betrayed. The school I could never afford not only teaches cursive writing, but STARTS with it. It develops brain cells no other system does. It also...

Editor, You (the author of March 3 letter, How Dare You Disgrace My Flag?) have an opinion, which I respect. To say to those who want to protest, to leave their Canadian flags folded in a closet, and to fly one of those three flags YOU suggested is not what I want in Canada. To suggest that someone who maybe has...
