Dear Editor,
I have been canvassing door-to-door at homes and businesses across the riding of Cape Breton Canso. One resonating message is that life should be made more affordable for the hard-working people of the Maritimes, and this starts by creating better job opportunities and confronting our ever increasing cost of living.

Dear Editor;
Why is Carbon Dioxide (CO2), this colourless, odourless, benign gas, being so demonized? If it’s so bad, why do we like the fiz it provides in our carbonated soda drinks? Why do they add CO2 to about 3 times ambient, in greenhouses to increase plant growth by up to 50%? [...]

As billions around the world viewed the minutely choreographed spectacle and dazzling display

Irene Sendler: Compassion and Courage
David, thank you so much for your article on Irena. I was aware of her passing in reading reports in our media, but none were as informative and revealing as yours. I wish your column had been published here.
It’s ordinary people with extraordinary altruistic love of their [...]

Dear Editor:
The anti-spanking Bill S-209 will be discussed in the House of Commons. Here we go again with runaway government activists and knows it alls micromanaging the raising of children. These Dr Spocks think the majority of Canadian parents are child abusers.
Children are not simply short adults as bureaucrats assume. The Minnesota Crime Commission is [...]
