Dear editor: Upon reading Mr. Belluz’ letter to the editor in the April 13 edition of the Times, it struck me that most of the initiatives he cited were from provincial origins. However, it was extremely interesting that Mr. Belluz could recount so many accomplishments to take credit for. It […]
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: I am trying to follow basic arithmetic formulas to arrive at the logic our town employees, councillors, and mayor are following to arrive at in costing out and charging for the use of water and sewer, but having no success in arriving at a logical answer. There are […]
Hayden Beckett Dear Mr. Editor: My name is Hayden Beckett. I am writing to thank all of my coaches from IP1 Timbits hockey. I had a great time in my first season. The coaches and parent volunteers made my first season of hockey amazing! I had a coach who worked […]
Dan Belluz Dear editor: What has the previous school board done over the past number of years? It kept the focus on the students in our system while being fiscally responsible! The previous board created strategic plans that were student-focused and consistently passed balanced budgets that supported the students in […]
Frank Fraser Dear editor: I would like to extend my apologies to the two “young ladies” who were at our front door at 2 a.m. this past Saturday (April 9). We were watching a movie, and dozing off on the couch, when I heard what I thought was something scratching […]
Ken Grynol Dear editor: I wish to applaud all the people who came out to the April 5 public school board meeting in total support of David Kircher. This meeting should have been held in a larger room. The walls were lined up with people standing, both doorways were jammed, […]
Walter Horban Dear editor: An overflow crowd of people came out in support of David Kircher at last week’s public school board meeting at Robert Moore. They were disappointed that the board’s vote had not changed and that Mr. Kircher would be censured. Their feeling was that Mr. Kircher had […]
Melanie Mathieson Dear editor: With the pending election, there are no shortages of campaign workers contacting us at home. On April 4, I was contacted by a campaign employee representing NDP candidate John Rafferty. This call was annoying to begin with, coming during dinner at 6:10 p.m., and the caller […]
Robin McQuaker Dear editor: Since the announcement of the latest unnecessary federal election, I can’t help but notice how biased and pro Liberal that CBC Television and its anchors are. It’s to the point where they are attempting to make policy. I find this disgusting. I also wish that Peter […]
Tom Pearson Dear Mike, I read about the criminal who was trying to smuggle his children into Canada and was caught at the border in Fort Frances. I commend you [Canada Customs] on a great job. He was a criminal and should be treated as such. I also just was […]
Glen Jackson Dear editor: On behalf of all the curlers taking part in the recent truckers’ and loggers’ bonspiel in Stratton, we all would like to say a great big thank you to Sandra Williams for once again organizing, finding sponsors, and cooking that great banquet meal to make this […]
Will Labovitch Dear editor: Greetings from south of the border. Here in Minnesota, attempts to start a third party movement by the Independence party (a.k.a. Jesse Ventura’s party) have ended in victories for the Conservative-like Republicans due to vote splitting among the Democrats. This even happened in International Falls as […]
