THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS WENT TO PHILLY
FAR AWAY FROM HOME AND DOME
TO TRY TO BEAT THE GRUNGIES SILLY
AND BRING THE SERIES ‘ TROPHY HOME
GAME FOUR IS ONE WE’LL ALL REMEMBER
FOR A BINGO SCORE AND FLAKY PLAYS
BUT IN THE END THE GRUBBY- PHILLIES
LOST OUT TO THE CLEAN- CUT JAYS
THE SERIES SHUTTLED BACK AND [...]

Re “Toronto New Jays arrive.” (June 24).
Just because Cito Gaston coached the Blue Jays of yesteryear to victory in two World Series, doesn’t mean he can steer the current Jays
to a theepeat. Nostalgia is all very well, but you can’t recall, except on video, the splendor on the grass or the glory of [...]

Dear Editor,
Dion has taken the fight for humanity’s environmental future to Mr. Harper. Mr. Dion proposes a tax-neutral green shift: taxing things we don’t want - pollution - and reducing taxes we on things we want - income and investment. Mr. Harper counters and accuses Mr. Dion of trying to “screw” Canadians. So, what do [...]

Dear Editor;
It’s a no-brainer that we should all do our utmost to insure our children live in a world of clean land, water, air and food. However, when it comes to global warming our best efforts to reduce our carbon footprints would have little effect. While Canadians are among the biggest wasters of energy [...]

Dear Edtor,
Re: Killing the Canadian in the Canadian
Dan Murray’s article, “Killing the Canadian in the Canadian” is right on the mark. Official Multiculturalism and massive immigration as dictated by the immigration industry, serves to eventually eliminate all the benefits and freedoms the new immigrant thinks he is coming here to enjoy.

The flags flutter at half mast
and the wail of pipes waft on
the summer breeze
as the honor guard shoulders
the casket bearing their fallen
Comrade.
His mortal remains will be interred in
his earthly home.
His immortal spirit will live forever in
his eternal home.
On a chilly November morning
we will remember him.
But for his loved ones,
every day will be Remembrance Day.

Dear Editor,
Listening to the Conservative rhetoric these days, you’d think M. Dion’s carbon tax would make the sky to fall. Compare this reaction, to how cabinet ministers reacted to Gordon Campbell’s BC carbon tax and you will see a major discrepancy:

Dear Editor:
As a Progressive Conservative I was frequently interviewed by Tom Zytaruk of the Surrey NOW, finding him, if anything, a little too sympathetic to Stephen Harper and James Moore’s old party, the Canadian Alliance. As a Progressive Canadian candidate in the last election I was interviewed by Zytaruk, finding him, if anything, just [...]

Dear Editor,
Hillary Clinton says she will go all out to help Barack Obama claim the White House.  However, Clinton’s endorsement of Obama will backfire when John McCain’s camp runs the tape of her recent campaign speech in which she states that McCain is, like herself, qualified  to be Commander in Chief of the U.S. military, but Obama is not. [...]

Mr Minister:
I read with digust, the captioned article in The Telegram on Saturday, June 7, 2008. It brought back deja vu memories to me of similar problems when I practiced law and took legal-aid cases. For a time, the certificate normally issued by the Legal-Aid Commission was a useless document. It meant waiting for [...]
