Thankful for Canada’s military

Categories:

October 11, 2007

October 2007 Re: Peter Worthington’s Young Canadians Respond (October 12), it’s good to see that young Canadians are upholding this country’s proud military history, despite what the “peace-at-any-price proponents” would like. Historically, Canadians have fielded the biggest non-conscript military. It just seems to be an inherent trait that Canadians are willing to serve their country …

An election is no time for serious issues

October 9, 2007

October 2007 What a pathetic lot we will be if Ontarians reject John Torry’s Conservatives just because of the political land-mine he laid with private school funding. Are you, my fellow Ontarians, telling me that you’d rather keep the Fiberals in power; the ones who foisted up on us the biggest tax increase in …

September 6, 2007

Published in the Barrie Advance 7 September 2007 Steven Truscott is no longer a convicted murderer, but has justice been done given that he was acquitted and not exonerated?

A slanted view

Categories:

September 4, 2007

September 2007 The letter by former SCDSB Chair Lynda Murtha (Public cash, public schools, August 17) presents a very slanted view of the Ontario Conservatives’ proposal to fund private religious schools. Nowhere in her letter does she mention that this funding will be subject to private schools accepting the Ontario school curriculum, adhering to the …

“No” to the Highway of Heroes

Categories:

September 3, 2007

April 2007 After much thought, I must object to the re-naming of the Trenton-Toronto section of Highway 401 as the Highway of Heroes. I am a former member of the Canadian Navy, so this is not an anti-military stance, but I do think we are throwing around the word “heroïc” a little too much …

The army “invades” Alliston’s Potato Festival, but for fun only

Categories:

August 21, 2007

August 2007 I wish to comment on Bradley Campaigne’s letter (Festival no place for military propaganda, 17 August, Alliston Herald). While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, I don’t know what world you are living in. What makes you think that a kiddy commando course will ‘help promote a faction of our society that …

August 2007 Who thought it was a good idea to have a concert, requiring tons of electricity and musicians to travel via fossil-fuel burning buses and planes, and say that it is to promote awareness of global warming. Oh yeah, a pompous blow-hard who has probably done more to promote awareness of his future ambitions …

Mahar is truly a victim

Categories:

July 23, 2007

July 2007 Mahar Arar is truly a victim. Both of Canadian incompetence, but of the fundamentalist Islamic terrorists. What happened to him should not have happened and it’s a shame that it did. However, would it have happened if the “enemy” in the war on terror was more clearly identifiable?
