Dear Editor;
Did you hear about the British teacher who got so fed up with correcting his students’ bad spelling he wants to allow misspellings to be acceptable. In some cases this might be OK. If you spelled coffee as kawphy everyone would still know what you meant. However, if you spelled potato, as [...]

Dear Editor,
Whichever Candidate succeeds in winning the White House will make history. John McCain would not only be the oldest man ever to be elected president, he would also be the first president born outside the United States. While the Constitutional requirement that presidents be born in the U.S. made sense in [...]

Dear Editor:
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.” [...]

April’s showered itself away
and May is flowering all around
The buds are popping in the trees
and life is stirring underground
The snowbirds are winging home
and staking out their spring-domain
while fruit trees blossom in the sun
and lilacs scent the Maytime rain

Dear Editor:
I really don’t see much of a point in making a fuss about official bilingualism anymore… for one, there are far greater priorities to consider; secondly there’s no sense in re-fighting issues that were settled a long time ago. Finally, the Quebec Nationalists are dwindling away and the new intellectual movement in Quebec [...]

Dear Editor
I am writing you concerning a subject that affects all Canadians.
On April 8, 2008, the Minister of Health in Canada introduced Bill C-51 into the House of Commons. This Bill proposes significant changes to the current Food and Drugs Act that would allow our government to bypass Parliamentary approval on new laws [...]

Dear Editor:
Re “Next stop on Yonge line… ‘Home Depot?’” (April 24): If the subway
stations are ever named for corporate sponsors, can the renaming of
Toronto’s streets and avenues be far behind? While it’s bad enough to have
so many of our public places named after two-bit politicians and people who never set foot in Toronto, [...]

WITH APOLOGIES TO ROBERT FROST
THE STREETS ARE FRIGID

TO KEEP
THE TRAFFIC INCHES TO-AND-FRO
BUT I’M SERENE BECAUSE I KNOW,
TODAY THERE’S NOWHERE I
MUST GO
