Guns in Toronto

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Dear Editor:
Mr. Miller, you have scored political points by pointing out the man who shot John O’Keefe was a legally licensed gun owner. This is disingenuous. Millions of Canadians are legally licensed gun owners (mostly long guns). Just because he was a licensed gun owner does not mean HE HAD A CONCEAL CARRY PERMIT.
Did he [...]

Gunsense

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

Dear Editor:
Every time there’s a shoot-out on the streets of Toronto, the anti-gun crowd wants all firearms banned because they kill people. The pro-gun lobby insist that it’s not guns, but people who kill people. They are both wrong. Bullets kill people. So we should all be allowed to carry guns as long as they’re [...]

Heaven help our local London Free Press

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: One Canadian’s Apology
I wish to compliment Beryl Wajsman on his article (One Canadians apology) that was forwarded to me by a friend in Montreal. Heaven help our local “London Free Press” to print such an article. Instead the LFP is mostly filled by Letters to the Editor criticizing the Conservative Government, Israel [...]

Immigration and crime on Toronto’s streets

Dear Editor:
Re: Death of police horse, Brigadier breaks hearts
The death of the police horse and many other cases of mayhem, havoc, rape and murder may be caused by a lack of government dilligence in the choice of immigrants to Canada.

What guardian angels?

Friday, January 20th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: “What guardian angels, then?” (Editorial Jan. 17):
Re Your statement that the police have good reasons to fear policing certain areas of Toronto is chilling. Why don’t the police send in SWAT teams, posing as civilians, to nail the gangsters in these areas. As for the Guardian angels, their motives are good, but [...]

Mayor Miller

Friday, January 20th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: David Miller’s legacy
After reading your column about Mayor Useless in the Free Press, I could not agree with you more.
This guy has to go. He’s running our city to the ground !
Please continue writing about this arrogant drunken spending sailor of a mayor who’s done nothing for the people of Toronto but taxed [...]

Guardian Angels in Toronto

Friday, January 20th, 2006

Dear Editor:
I, for one, am all for the Angles coming to Toronto. A number of them have
been in London, Ontario for a few years now. I alwasy thought their
presence was a good deterent. A example of their good work is an incident
from a few years back in London. Somebody went [...]

Gun violence in Toronto

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: A solution to reduce gun violence
Arthur Weinreb’s column about gun violence hits the nail right on the head.
It’s about time someone has stated the true problem and offered a sensible solution.
I’m sick and tired of listening to the politicians and the other so called “do gooders”
come off with their lame excuses and repairs. [...]

Canada not protecting its children

Wednesday, January 4th, 2006

Dear Editor:
Re: In Canada politicians don’t protect children from shootings or group sex
Just read your article online entitled “In Canada politicians don’t protect children from shootings or group sex”. Recently I was looking at age of consent laws around the world at http://www.ageofconsent.com/ageofconsent.htm and noticed that in Canada the age of consent is [...]
