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 sir: To the striking workers of the Association for Community Living, I am very grateful that each one of you put your futures into uncertainty so that the future of our disabled citizens–both young and old–would be one of security. Because of your strong determination, they can now have […]
To the editor: The recent court decision in favour of Métis hunting and gathering rights (R v. Powley) is a victory for everyone. When the law is upheld based upon legal, historical, and moral principles, everyone wins. Clearly this court decision is based upon knowledge not ignorance, competence instead of […]
Dear sir: As a concerned dual citizen of Canada and the United States, I write this letter to fellow citizens of these two great nations. I felt shock, horror, anger, and sadness as I watched the tragic events unfold in New York City and Washington, D.C. on Sept. 11. Following […]
Dear sir: The Northern Therapeutic Riding Association (NORTRA) would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who supported “Freedom Ride 2001” (horseback riders and motorcyclists). We have decided to have “Freedom Ride 2002” in the fall in hopes we will get more support. NORTRA also would like […]
Hello: I just read the article [on the Times Web site] about the Canadian and U.S. native veterans that held the mourning ceremony last Tuesday morning at the Nanicost grounds. I generally do not send letters to newspapers but I feel compelled to share some of my thoughts. Please allow […]
Dear sir: As lay preacher and founder of the “Life Chain” event, I feel it would be beneficial to share some facts about this year’s “Life Chain” in your area. It will be unusual in that the Canadian one will take place the weekend before the one in U.S. In […]
Dear sir: If I lived 400 yards south of my house, I would be $20,000 in debt. That is the value of our Canadian health system. People must realize that much of our taxes to the federal and provincial governments are returned in the health care services. Locally, we can […]
Dear sir: I sure enjoy seeing your Web cam. I haven’t seen it in a while. I also make a couple of trips a year to fish on Rainy Lake–have been doing this for the last 30 years or so. I just love your country. Wish I could spend more […]

Dear sir: Hello to my friends in Canada, and particularly Fort Frances. On Sept. 14, my wife and I, after a week in the Canadian wilderness, were returning home to the Milwaukee, Wis. area. We encountered a long delay at the border, and were feeling frustated and somewhat testy at […]
Dear sir: It is with great disbelief that I find myself needing to write this letter in the aftermath of the tragic events of Sept. 11. Although I thought that I could not be more disturbed by a few ill-conceived comments at the tribute the town organized on Sept. 14, […]
