Dear Editor:
Re ” Harper softens his tone on war.” (June 23):
Surely there’s enough confusion among Canadians regarding our involvement in Afghanistan without Harper flip-flopping on the issue. We keep hearing that Canadian troops are in Afghanistan to liberate the people there from tyranny. We also hear that they are there to fight […]

Dear Editor;
Re: The ‘Boycott Anti-Troop Toronto’ Campaign
This is a copy of the letter I send to Mayor Miller of Toronto:
Mr. Miller,
I have been following the yellow ribbon debacle, and after reading the latest instalment of your reaction to it decided to write to you. You do not speak for me, Sir. In my circle […]

Dear Editor;
Re: John G. Diefenbaker
Most of the recent articles I’ve been reading about the late John G. Diefenbaker lauded his vision for Canada. Having a vision for Canada is one thing, implementing it is another. John Diefenbaker was, by all accounts, a decent man, but a failed politician. Diefenbaker’s vision for Canada didn’t […]

Re: Jeremy Andrews
In a letter to the Sun, Jeremy Andrews- who signs himself a
“History/Political-Science Specialist “- gives us a lecture on World War
II. His musings, however sound more like those of a bar room pinhead like like
Cliff Clavin on the old Cheers sit-com.
As for his belittling Canada’s contribution to the Allied

Re: The ‘Boycott Anti-Troop Toronto’ Campaign
Mayor Miller:
Leave the decals on.
Show support for the troops, even if you don’t support the mission in Afghanistan.
Even if you don’t support the troops or the mission, let the emergency services show their support for the troops.
Alan Paulson
Ps. Please don’t show up for any future Remembrance […]

Mayor Miller:
Support to our troops - is support to our troops.
Keep your personal opinion to yourself.

Mayor Miller:
Reference: Your move to remove Support our Troops Decals.
To quote comedian Ron White: “you can fix a broken leg…you can fix a broken nose…but you can’t fix STUPID.”
You have joined the ranks of Fred Rose. No need to tell you who he is…you probably have a […]
