Re: Irene Sendler

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Dear Dan,
Thank you very much for your e-letter on the late Mrs Irena Sendler. I am one of her admirers that’s why I have written my article about her life. In the past, I did much work on history of the WWII in Poland, interviewing former inmates of Nazi concentration campas, Jewish survivors of [...]

Irene Sendler

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Dear Editor:
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 [...]

Hand washing and the Islamic Medical Association

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Dear Editor:
We were dismayed to read the article in the Canada Free Press on February 4, 2008 entitled “Hand washing and the Islamic Medical Association”.
The Islamic Medical Association Medical of North America, which we represent, is independent of and is not affiliated with the Islamic Medical Association in the United Kingdom. As Muslims [...]

Detainee prisoners situation in Afghanistan

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

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 [...]

Durban Conference has no credibility

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Dear Editor:
Every Canadian should join B’nai Brith Canada and the Canadian Jewish Congress in thanking our government for the courage to once again take a principled stand in refusing to attend the farcical Durban II UN racism conference in South Africa in 2009. The 2001 conference did little more than provide a platform for the [...]

The Manley Report on Afghanistan

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

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 [...]

The Mission in Afghanistan

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Dear Editor:
I’m glad to hear from ex- soldiers point of view about serving in Afghanistan. I think that it is very sad and disgraceful that people like Jack Layton do not support our troops or the mission in Afghanistan. Our Canadian troops are there because they want to be there and want to make [...]

Inexcusably sexist

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Dear Editor:
Re: Why Al Qaeda Didn’t Kill Her And The Pakistani Military Did?
You call her “Mrs. Bhutto” which is blatantly incorrect, as she was not married to anyone named Bhutto. The common phenomena of married women using their maiden names renders the antiquated “Mrs.” inaccurate as well as inexcusably sexist.
Please desist.

YEAR of the ASSASSIN

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Dear Editor
Re “YEAR of the ASSASSIN.” (Dec 30):
Sad to say, but every year is the year of assassins. From Cain and Abel to Pol Pot, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, from Toronto’s thugs to Pakistan’s fanatics, the cry is still the same: Kill, kill, kill! The verdict is in: We are [...]
