OPINION: Windmill power no matter what—even if it means killing eagle habitat?
OPINION: By MATT McEACHRAN I don’t know about you, but I’m one of those people that like to pay a lot more for my hydro; it’s a small price to pay to save the environment. Hundreds of thousands of jobs lost due to Ontario’s high electricity prices? No problem. An economy tanking in part because [...]
OPINION: Property ownership should actually mean something
OPINION: By Matt McEachran “Extremely disappointed in Council’s decision to allow farmers to continue to do whatever they want with the land they own … they should be forced to get approval from our government first to ensure too many trees don’t get cut down at once.” This mindless rant was found in the online edition [...]
OPINION: School tragedy could be ticking time bomb right here
OPINION: By MATT McEACHRAN What would you say if someone told you that children in our Lambton Kent district routinely disrespect teachers and principals, without consequences? That kids in your child’s schools have threatened or actually committed violent acts against fellow students or teachers? And in many cases, if not most cases, these same kids [...]
Opinion: Is hockey at all levels in trouble?
OPINION: By MATT McEACHRAN The latest NHL lock-out is proving what a growing number of hockey fans have been secretly wondering; yes we can actually live without hockey. And even worse for the greatest sport in Canada, it appears that many of us in certain markets can live without watching nearly any hockey at all, [...]
OPINION: Action needs to be taken on coyotes roaming area
OPINION By MATT McEACRAN How many pets have to be eaten before any action is taken on the coyotes roaming around? Or are we just going to keep hearing that there’s nothing that can be done by anyone? I’m guessing the latter. So far the best answer I’ve heard is from the Ministry of [...]
OPINION: Three myths about gun control that are killing people
OPINION: By Matt McEachran Since you were a kid, would you say gun crime has gone up or down in Canada? The recent shooting at the PQ victory party in Quebec was a shocking reminder that gun crime seems to be everywhere. How is this even possible many wondered, Quebec still has a gun registry! [...]
OPINION: Massive debt leads to hard choices we shouldn’t be having to make
OPINION: By MATT McEACHRAN The funny thing about spending yourself into massive debt is there is no money left for anything. Who knew? And that friends, is where we find ourselves. By now you’ve likely heard the story of a local family desperate for help to care for their child who has severe physical [...]
OPINION: Matt McEachran suggests we picture this
OPINION: By MATT McEACHRAN Did you know if someone draws a picture of you holding something like drugs or a gun, you can be arrested and charged for possessing it? Did you know government controlled social workers can take your kids out of school without your permission or knowledge, and take them across town for [...]
OPINION: Rights and freedoms shouldn’t be up to government
By MATT McEACHRAN Happy 30th Birthday Charter of Rights and Freedoms! Ah the Charter, Pierre Trudeau’s crowning achievement. Enshrining our rights into the constitution helped Canada forge a new national identity and an international reputation as being a people without discrimination. The Charter is the best thing that ever happened to our rights and freedoms [...]
OPINION: ‘We love our murderers’
OPINION: By MATT McEACHRAN We love our murderers. We must. People like Terri-Lynne McClintic and Michael Rafferty can kidnap and murder a small child and what do we give them? A life time of ease in jail. Not death. Not even hard labour. A heated cell, securely protected, and three meals a day. Is that [...]
