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.

Pastor Shane G Belding Dear Editor I am writing in response to your May 20th editorial “Intolerance should be history.” I agree that tolerance of disgraceful inhumane treatment of other humans should be a thing of history and I can fight alongside of you for that sort of a future […]
Heidi Gerber Dear editor, I live in Emo. As a resident and concerned citizen, I want to give a SHOUT OUT to our municipal leader, Harold McQuaker. Contrary to the cacophony of criticism, Mayor McQuaker is a man of integrity and grit. He, along with Councillors Boven and Toles, are […]
Philipp Gerber Dear editor, Judging by the last edition of the Times (from 20th May), the response to the decision of the Emo council not to pass the draft resolution submitted by Borderland Pride is increasingly becoming one-sided. Let’s remember that Mayor Harold McQuaker as well as councillors Warren Toles […]
Luke Judson Dear editor, Over the past two weeks, I have struggled to put my thoughts into words. I do not agree with Emo Council’s decision to deny Borderland Pride’s resolution. What has followed is eye opening and disturbing. Social media has erupted with misinformation and hate. Supporters of Council’s […]
