MP Gladu spreading dangerous misinformation about COVID-19 Sir: Can Sarnia-Lambton MP Marilyn Gladu please confirm where she received her medical degree? I have to assume, based on the information she’s sharing, that it came from YouTube University. How many times is she going to share COVID-19 misinformation and get away with it, with little more… Read more »
I was 12 when I conducted my first ‘real’ interview. My Grade 7 teacher had asked the class to find the most interesting person in our lives, ask them a series of questions, record their answers, and share their stories. I’d heard that my Great Aunt Betty had served in World War II. Eager to… Read more »
Delia De Santis Growing up in Italy we didn’t have any books, except a prayer book. Sometimes my mother would borrow a book from the school and read to us. But we couldn’t keep it more than a week, and didn’t always get to hear the ending. My father immigrated to Canada in 1954 and… Read more »
Please, don’t let pandemic rob us of respect for others Sir: I was dismayed at Marg Johnson’s piece in your Oct. 7 edition titled “Self-centred vaccine whiners missing the Big Picture.” When has it ever been OK to resort to bullying, name-calling and blanket stereotyping to get your point across?

That distinctive rotten-egg and burnt-garlic perfume permeated… Read more »
Our democracy has been replaced by edicts and tyranny Sir: I notice a trend these days is for many Western governments and mainstream media to blame the non-vaccinated for increased COVID-19 deaths and infections. Yet evidence to the contrary from virologists and doctors is shunned and their findings labelled conspiracy theories. In true democracies, an… Read more »
Young woman’s act of kindness touched our hearts Sir: We would like to thank the valuable employee of a busy Sarnia coffee shop who helped us out recently. We were looking in to see if a table was available inside, but many students from the high school were already lined up and waiting, so we… Read more »
Marg Johnson Those of us who live at the south end of Lake Huron have access to a view that surpasses anything else in Canada, in my opinion. At least we did before the pandemic, and one day when it’s over we will again. If you’ve taken the Blue Water Bridge to the U.S. and… Read more »
Tarzanland is no place for an asphalt jungle Sir: It would seem we seldom see a nice, quiet wooded trail that cannot be improved by pavement. Case in point is the proposal to asphalt a path through our cherished “Tarzanland” in Canatara Park. Many streets in our community COULD use a large dose of that… Read more »
Builders and developers are contributing to housing shortage Sir: Mario Fazio’s guest column of Sept. 9 (“Government caused housing mess and now wants to fix it?”) caught my interest. Mr. Fazio puts the blame on governments and their environmental and archeological regulations, while absolving developers, builders and foreign buyers of blame. But we should look at… Read more »
