Dear Editor,
While no one seems to know how to control serious crime on the streets of Toronto, there is a way to make sure that prisons are kept crime and drug free: Put the prisons under military supervision. Or, if using the army is not possible, at least hire retired Military [...]

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.
William Bedford

Dear Editor:
Re “Present, past meet in medal for valour.” (May 17).
The designer, and those who approved, the so called Canadian Victoria Cross are either closet Separatists or burdened with a dyed-in-the-wool colonial mentality. How else to explain that they believed by adding Fleurs de lis to the thistle, shamrock and rose [...]

Dear Editor,
I think that it is sad when there are countries like Spain, Germany and Italy who will not send any of their troops into the combat zone of Afghanistan.They should be ashamed.Looking back on history, Italy, Spain and Germany were part of Hitlers Third Reich.After these countries were defeated during the Second World [...]

RE “A war on two fronts.” (Feb 7):
It sounds like a war on three fronts if you include General Rick Hillier. Unlike their U.S. counterparts, Canadian generals usually keep a low profile. General Rick Hillier is different; he wallows in the media limelight. Hillier’s popularity with his troops and with the [...]

With regards to the detainee prisoners situation in Afghanistan ,why are the opposition parties (Liberals, NDP) and members of the news media in this country, making this thing into a three ring circus. The Afghan army and the Afghan government should be dealing with this problem, not the Canadian military.
Sad to say the opposition parties [...]

Dear Editor,
Now is the time to thank our troops, and bring them home.
We sent them to Afghanistan to depose the Taliban government that had supported terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Our troops and allies succeeded. We asked our troops to secure Kabul, the Afghan capital, for a new democratic government. Again, our troops and allies succeeded. [...]

Dear Editor:
Regarding the Liberals position on Afghanistan, come next election, “I will not be voting Liberal”.
I will be voting Conservative.As for the NDP……NOT A CHANCE IN HELL WILL THEY GET MY VOTE.Jack Layton is completely out of touch.Our troops need to stay in Afghanistan, until the job is finished and the Taliban are defeated.

Re PMO hiding truth, Dion alleges.” (Jan. 26):
Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan grows more controversial with each passing day. Are we going to become so used to our soldiers coming home in body-bags that it’s only reported in small print? There are so many different reasons given for Canada being part of [...]

Dear Editor:
So Jack Layton feels that the Manley report is out of touch.
“First, it is Jack Layton that is out of touch with the mission in Afghanistan”.
Three questions that I would like to ask regarding Jack Layton?
Has Layton ever served in the Canadian military?
Has Layton ever served in combat?
Has Layton been to Afghanistan to see [...]
