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?

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.

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! [...]
