Letters
All newspapers encourage letters to the editor and intend to print the opinions of their readers with as few restrictions as possible. The Fort Frances Times is no exception.
Rules governing letters to the editor in the Fort Frances Times are:
All letters must be signed, and the name of the writer will be printed with all letters published.
The writer must submit his/her letter in person and satisfactory identify themselves, or submit a telephone number to be used to verify that the letter was actually written by the person whose name is included on it, delaying publication if necessary to make the verification.
Letter will not be accepted from people outside the local coverage area unless the letters are written on a topic of primarily local interest.
If a letter attacks another individual or group, the Times will allow a response in the same edition.
Letters should not exceed 300 words and may be edited for length and content.
Deb Westover-Morriseau Dear editor: More than 50 people walked in the Tom Bruyere Memorial “Walk for Dialysis” last Friday—the most ever! They walked for dialysis, they walked for themselves, they walked for a friend or a family member. But first and foremost, they walked for Tom. They talked, they joked, […]
Wendy Agar Dear sir: On Friday, Sept. 11, the Friends of the Library held their annual “tag day.” We are very grateful to the local businesses which allowed “tagging” outside their premises. We also appreciate the publicity which the Times always provides for this event. Our fabulous September weather held […]
Ken Boshcoff Dear editor: Many people have commented to me about the excessive amount of advertising the prime minister is doing telling us what a wonderful job his government is performing. People can see through the fact the PM is just trying to convince us—with our own money—that we never […]
Douglas W. Judson Dear editor: The competence of our region’s NDP representation again should be called into question. After opposing the Conservative government with irrational glee for the past year, New Democrats opted to prop up the same Stephen Harper they have condemned, on alleged principle, for 79-consecutive Parliamentary votes. […]
Arlene Georgeson Dear Mike: It has been with great pride and pleasure that I, along with many members of Beta Sigma Phi, have devoted countless volunteer hours at the Townshend Theatre since it opened 10 years ago. After all the other work was completed, and the grand opening on the […]
David Kircher Dear editor: Many have asked what happened to the petition? The petition and all related material, the returned production order, the four charges and court transcripts relating to the MoE charge at Sturgeon Creek School, and all relevant correspondence with the board were submitted to the minister of […]
Destiny Woolsey Dear editor, I am writing this letter to let everyone know how harmful littering can be. Not only does it hurt the Earth, it can also harm animals. I live off Highway 71 and I am 14 years old and have lived around animals all my life. I […]
John M. Rafferty Dear editor, CNIB strongly urges Greyhound Canada to reconsider cuts to routes in Manitoba, Northern Ontario and rural areas of Alberta and other provinces. Many Canadians who are blind or partially sighted rely on bus transportation within provinces and across the country. Those living in northern and […]
Kristina Caul Dear editor: I am writing this in response to a letter headlined “Inexcusable behaviour” from the Sept. 2 issue of your paper. I will be concentrating on the first half of that letter concerning the man riding the paint horse. I am doing this not only because that […]
Nick Wihnan Dear Mr. Editor, The world is in an economic meltdown, Canada’s economy is in the toilet, we’re in a war in Afghanistan, corporate thieves are bankrupting companies and pensions plans, our manufacturing base and forest sector lost hundreds of thousands of jobs, investors are being swindled out of […]
Dear editor: I am writing this letter in regard to the Emo Fair horse show. I attended the fair with some friends, and we went to watch the parade and the horse show. I have owned, raised, trained, and shown horses for 40 years and I was motivated to write […]
