Total disregard

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: The Joel Stein never met a wuss he didn’t try to emulate
Mr Stein,
I first dismissed your article as one totally out of mainstream American thinking. However, close scrutiny of it reveals a total disrespect for the reason you can say any stupidity you want; that is, the sacrifices of the men and women [...]

Greedy rich or poorly educated

Dear Editor:
Re: The Joel Stein never met a wuss he didn’t try to emulate
And you Judi know nothing about the lives of these kids/soldiers pre-enlistment, as a Canadian. The average kid enlisted, if they have a family, is from a single parent one. About 90 percent the single parents in USA are [...]

Ignore Michael Moore

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: Open Letter to Michael Moore
Sorry to write you so late, but I don’t get to
read the CFP every day. Great letter. And thank you
for pointing out some of the differences in our two
government structures, most people down here don’t
even understand how our own works. I am pleased that
you have gotten a governing party [...]

Celebtities and no talent twits

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: Celebrity culture
Thank you for you column on the prevelance of the “celebrity culture” in America (and other places as well such as the UK).
It’s one of the things that I profoundly dislike about my own country America. You’re right that it has reached ridiculous proportions and levels. If you’ve ever [...]

Meeting old friends and veterans

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: The ties that bind
I’m writing you in regards to your letter concerning your father, LST 308 and your visit to the LST 325. My father served with yours aboard the 308 during WWII. He was a Gunner’s Mate and remembers your dad very well. His name is Samuel J. [...]

Women should be above this type of fear mongering

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Every woman who is hiding under the bed and scared because Stephen Harper is now elected and leading the country should try to understand one thing. It is the Liberals who singled out the “voice of a woman� to use in their negative ads aimed at this man. The Liberals who used the “voice [...]

Your letter on Moore was fantastic

Saturday, January 28th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: An open letter to Michael Moore
Touche – your letter to Michael Moore was fantastic – I am grinning ear to ear. I was listening to coverage
of the election on a local talk radio show. One caller noted how hysterical it would have been if the people that
promised to move to Canada [...]

IN PRAISE OF WINTER

Friday, January 27th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Snow banks shining in the cold sunlight
frosty noses glowing in the chill
the laughter of children throwing snowball
the swish of skiers on the hill
hot chocolate with marshmallows
while the snow is blowing
reading in a cozy chair
by the embers glowing
before you know it
wonderful winter has melted away
so enjoy it while you can
soon enough you’ll be complaining
about [...]

Odious Michael Moore

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: Open letter to Michael Moore
Well, a big BRAVO to you for your article on the odious Michael Moore. I correspond with JB Williams in the States, who also writes for CFP, and he sent on your article to me. Very tongue-in-cheek, sharp and funny. I will now post this on to [...]
