Georgaphy lessons for our Governor General

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Dear Governor General: I read in the papers of how glad you are to be starting your cross-Canada tour in Winnipeg, which you referred to as the geographic center of Canada. A lot of people are going to find it strange that the Governor General of Canada doesn’t know where the geographic center of Canada [...]

Ontario’s property tax

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: MVA–The road to hell
I was just wondering if you have any idea at all how many factual errors you have included in this article. Have you ever done any research on Ontario’s property tax and assessment system? Or, spoken to anyone who knows anything about it. It sort of sounds like you are getting [...]

Permission to reprint Road to Hell

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: MVA–The road to hell
Hello Klaus,
I run a free and independent web site for property investors and I was wondering if I could re-publish your article titled “MVA–The road to hell” (http://www.canadafreepress.com/2005/klaus102005.htm). Its a great article and our online community would love to read it! All author details will be supplied with [...]

The magic of AM740 radio

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: The magic of AM 740 radio
I enjoyed and agree with your article about am740. Although I can’t get am740 in the daytime, I can get it after dark as in I live in Iowa. We always have the radio on overnight while we are in bed to hear the end of the “primetime” programs, [...]

A letter from a Druidic/Celtic Pagan Priestess

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
My name is Acacia Nokomis. I have recently read your article titles “Wal-Mart goes Wicca” on an interfaith tolerance group that I belong to on the internet.
I was deeply disturbed by your assumption that Wiccans, Pagans, and other non-Christians would do something to harm another human being. Perhaps you are not familiar [...]

Your hateful column on witches

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
Don’t you have a law protecting freedom of religion in Canada? I just read your hateful column about Wal-Mart selling Wiccan books in Canada and was appalled by your statements. I certainly hope that all Canadians aren’t so unenlightened and close-minded.

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants [...]

Wiccans and Kwanzaa

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
What’s with all the Wicca-bashing in the article “Wal-Mart goes Wicca”? That’s as offensive to me as an article on Kwanzaa that says, “Oh, what will those wacky black people think of next?”

Slanderous comments on witches

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
I am writing to inform you that your article on Wicca
has offended a great deal of people and I am honestly
shocked that any decent publisher allowed that to go
to print. I am offended because people like you don’t
take the time for research on the subject in which you
choose to write. I would [...]

Pagans and Witches have had their heritage stolen

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
Recently, I was made aware of your editorial/article regarding Wal-Mart carrying Wiccan literature. I was, however, shocked and saddened by the cynical jibe at the end of the article.
Pagans and Witches have had their heritage stolen from them by the Christian culture, just as the aboriginal [...]

From a Neo Pagan

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Re: Walmart goes wicca
As a NeoPagan myself, I must say I was less than pleased about Judi McLeod’s article on Wicca gaining an increasing presence in Wal-Mart. Ms. McLeod demonstrates the ignorance and fear that practitioners of our religion have been weathering since we first came public after England abolished its anti-witchcraft laws. [...]
