Dear editor: Last weekend while at our cottage in the Morson area, a very nice black Lab came to visit. He was very hungry and skinny, having been on the move for a while, I imagine. Our family loves animals, having dogs in all our households, so he came to […]
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.
Dear editor: It is with great appreciation that we inform the citizens of Rainy River District that our son, Kuentin, has been relocated to the Community Living in Toronto and reunited with his family. This would not have been possible without the help and support of many people in the […]
Dear Mr. Editor: Let’s talk road rage. I’m sure this happens every day but until Aug. 4, It hadn’t happened to me. After waiting in line to go to the Falls for a half-hour, we were at the mill where the big sign says “Do Not Block This Opening.” There […]
To the Editor: A new agreement between Canada and the U.S. is needed to properly consider recreation as commerce and to resolve issues on use of Ontario-Minnesota border waters. The 1909 boundary waters treaty was designed to forever guarantee freedom of navigation on waters through which the international boundary passes. […]
Dear editor: It’s interesting that in Mr. Boshcoff’s article last week (View From The Hill) he blames the NDP for the Liberal’s lack of action on National Childcare. He makes the Liberal Party sound like the saviours of national childcare! Here is the Liberal “legacy” regarding this issue: •1993 Liberals […]
Dear sir: This so-called “health capsule” appeared (on page C7) in the Times, on Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2006. This is a terrible piece of misinformation to pass out as fact. The author of this “capsule” has very little, or no knowledge of the milk process, either on the farm or […]
To the Editor, When tourists cross the border at Fort Frances, Ontario, there is a wall that reads, “The Great Canadian Experience.” Below this should be a sign that reads, “If you can get in.” Canadian Immigration is out of control and now refusing entry to countless visitors almost every […]
Dear editor: In response to the “band” letter in the July 5 edition of the Times, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the music teachers at Fort Frances High School for the excellent job they’ve done over the many years in providing the students of this district […]
Dear Mr. Editor: Here’s a P.O.O.P. (Proud Of Our Parks) letter for people to think about. All too often it seems people find it easy to take pen to hand when it comes to criticizing, but where are their pens when it comes to voicing a little praise and appreciation? […]
Dear friends and supporters, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer holidays! God has blessed us with wonderful weather this year. I’m writing to you today because there are people in this district and community that aren’t able to enjoy the summer like the rest of us. They are turning […]
Dear editor, Another night to remember–July 1st fireworks in Fort Frances–2006! Wow! Thanks to many volunteers, we were privy to an outstanding display, lasting approximately twenty minutes, double last year’s duration. This year Peter Palmer from CanFire out of Sundown, Manitoba was the provider of the fireworks and organizer of […]
Dear editor: The Fourth of July (Independence Day in the U.S.) was a more complete success in Biwabik, Mn. (about 90 miles south of Fort Frances) because of the participation of the Fort Frances Highlanders. What a wonderful bagpipe band. They were the hit of the parade. The diversity of […]
