Letters to the Editor

'It's hard sometimes to understand how empty the lives of these protesters are. There are so very many things in our world that NEED protest and opposition — I can't recall ever seeing any of these people at an environmental rally, or a protest against misogyny, racism, or other inequalities'

'I don’t agree with all the things these counter protesters shouted however in no way were they fighting for the same things that the Freedom Convoy was'

'I did not expect to have an exchange of letters with you published in one of our esteemed community news sites over the past week. But this time you've piqued my curiosity and I'm nothing if not a curious cat.'

'They were going to call the schools, Chippewa Secondary School (CSS) and Algonquin Secondary School (ASS). My father recalled frequently how he raised the issue of the initials and how it might play out when Algonquin was playing one of their opponents.'

'For the most part, Mr. Robertson's letter was a respectful and reasoned response to an opinion with which he fundamentally disagrees ... You want to go in one direction, and we want to go in another. We'll just have to agree to disagree!'

'Chip-a-sq**w: If I could never hear that word again, then I would say, keep the name. If I could wake up tomorrow and never another Anishinaabe youth would have to hear this word, I would say, keep the name'

'I have literally not heard one rational argument to change the name, including the important voices of our friends at Nipissing First Nation'

'Why would you want to spoil the history and good times shared by those people for the sake of a very few people who feel offended?'

The next time you see a police officer, cheer!

'I feel so uneasy about the tone of the recent deluge of letters published here...Let's all dial back the personal rhetoric and attacks'
