Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,
The Judges of the Supreme Court of Canada wasted their time on the fly in the bottle case they chose to hear unless it was to send this message: the lower courts ought to refrain from hearing let alone finding in favour of litigants in such frivolous cases.
Whether it be eventually the Supreme Court [...]

Dear Editor:
Your article below…

Re “Everything new is old.” (Editorial, May 25).
If Toronto wants a slogan that really catches the attention of Americans, our biggest tourist source, it already has one that is being overlooked. I’m referring to the observation of the late, great raconteur, Peter Ustinov: “Toronto is New York run by the Swiss.” [...]

Re: They’re Just Newfies
I wanted to commend you on your fabulous writing. Your most recent “They’re Just Newfies” column summed up everything I have been saying over and over to others (both Newfoundlanders and Canadians). As well, your “The Truth Is” article was powerful, factual and so well-written I have sent it [...]

April’s showered itself away
and May is flowering all around

while fruit trees blossom in the sun
and lilacs scent the Maytime rain
