Nothing’s free

February 2016 Re: “Poor idea to scrap tuition fees,” (Matthew Lau, Toronto Sun, Feb 12), I would like to add one thing: there is no such thing as a free education; free anything for at matter (think of our “free” health-care).  Any “free” post-secondary education would in fact be paid for by taxpayers like you …

The Ontario Liberals and their unbelievable chutzpah

January 2016 Re “Buddy can you spare $300 billion,” (Candice Malcolm, 26 December):  apparently Deb Matthews and the Liberals have discovered a very special level of chutzpah with their request that Ontarians donate their tax refunds to help pay down Ontario’s debt; a debt that the Liberals have run-up through their poor fiscal management, boondoggles …

The silence from the left is deafening

October 2015 The federal election of 2015 is over and Stephen Harper and his Conservative government were defeated by Justin Trudeau and the Liberals, who won a solid majority in Canada’s Parliament.

Police in impossible position

June 2015 Re:  “MNR cuts to blame for bear shooting” (Toronto Sun, June 2):  Once again the police are placed in an impossible position because a more appropriate agency, for whatever reason, is unable to respond fast enough.  Police aren’t supposed to be wildlife management officers, mental health workers or social service workers, yet time and …
