Reader Responds to Nasty Letter

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I was delighted to see you had the spinal fortitude to print the absurdity that you are subjected to as a public person, in the July 24 paper.

But oh wait, that is right you are in the back pocket of the political buffoons and...

Reader Appreciates the New 3 Rs Column

Letter to the Editor Editor, Congratulations for the guts to do it. I for one think we need more ranters. We wouldn't have invention if we didn't have ranters. Particularly fond of your point of view about Pan Am. I live in Hamilton - a city that needs every dime for infrastructure - and what do we do? Spend $145 million (Hamilton's...
