Media out of touch

Friday, May 26th, 2006

To the Editor:
In his first 100 days as Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems to have gained the respect
of just about everybody except the Ottawa press gallery and left-leaning segment (which is considerable)
of the media. A new cultural deal with Quebec, settling of the softwood lumber dispute, the new Accountability
Act, an innovative trip to the [...]

The Gwyn Morgan debacle and a bout of prime ministerial petulance

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

Dear Editor:
The title of this article could be given a passing mark, if it weren’t for the fact that it comes from the most arrogant broadcaster in the history of the free world, namely the CBC, euphemistically referred to by many, as the Communist Broadcasting Corporation!
Part of the contents could also have a passing mark, [...]

Divided factions take aim at firearms registry

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

Dear Editor:
Regardless of all the Marxist rhetoric in favour of this vote-buying, LIEberal-scam, anyone with an average intelligence and a desire to speak the truth, knows that the gun registry is just that, another LIEberal scam by virtue of which, possibly many LIEberal friends got rich and most of us will like to know who [...]

A response to the last letter

Dear Editor:
Re: New investigation:
KGB behind all plots to assassinate John Paul II:
Ali Agca’s Secret Services
Dear Mr. Brodhead,
You have asked: “If you have copies or can point me toward copies of published Stasi documents regarding the KGB/Agca business, I would appreciate it very much.”
No, I don’t have any [...]

Assassination attempts on Pope John Paul II

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: New investigation:
KGB behind all plots to assassinate John Paul II:
Ali Agca’s Secret Services
Hello - I am interested in your assertions regarding the Stasi documents allegedly confirming that the KGB was behind the May 13, 1981 attempt on the pope. I have tried to follow this since the first claim was made [...]

Da Vinci loses something in translation

Friday, May 19th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Let’s see….
First we had the “Da Vinci Code� book and Christians, mainly Catholics, strongly objected.
Then, we had cartoons of The Prophet Mohammed and Muslims strongly objected.
Now, we’ve got the “Da Vinci Code� ‘movie’ and Christians, mainly Catholics, are again strongly objecting.
To balance things off, I wonder if there is a ‘cartoon-movie’ in the [...]

PLEASE HELP the citizens of Caledonia !

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

Dear Editor:
We are writing to you because we cannot understand why nothing is being done regarding the illegal land occupation in our town. We really feel no one should be negotiating until our provincial highways are opened up and the law of our great country is enforced. It sickens my wife and I that this [...]

Da Vinci Code Pure Fiction

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

Dear Editor:
The Cannes Film Festival has a well earned reputation for notoriety but with the debut of
the Da Vinci Code film this Wednesday they will be giving new meaning to the term
“off limits.” What Hollywood’s Tom Hanks calls “a damn good story and a lot of fun”
Christians world-wide regard as highly blasphemous. If you don’t [...]

Kidnapping of Cecilia Zhang

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

Re “No evidence of justice.” (letters, May 12).
I agree that the death of Cecilia Zhang was probably an accident, but there is a big difference between an ordinary accidental death and one that’s the result of a botched kidnapping. First degree, as opposed to parents snatching their children back and forth, kidnapping should be [...]

Dear Editor:
Re: Shields should be made mandatory in taxis
I’ve been a taxi driver for 28 years. I don’t want a shield. I’ve been robbed, punched, shot at (I drive in the U.S.). The shooting was a random event, not related to any crime directed at me. I was just a [...]
