Opinion: All.Together.Now — A campaign for real human connection

“The town and the Shaw have grown together, welcoming first tens of thousands and then hundreds of thousands of patrons every year, helping this little corner of Ontario become one of the most cherished destinations in Canada,” write Tim Jennings and Tim Caroll from the Shaw Festival.

Opinion: Bill 5 means ‘rolling the dice’ with Ontario’s ecosystem

“This bill redefines ‘habitat’ in a way that weakens protections for endangered species. Imagine saying an animal’s home doesn’t count anymore because it’s not where it nests, even if it feeds or migrates there,” writes Wayne Gates. “That’s not science — that’s politics. And that’s dangerous.”

Opinion: Who won the federal election? We did

“We’re in the early stages of the biggest political fight most of us have ever seen in this country; if we’re going to win, we need to listen to each other and pull together,” writes David Israelson.

Large dead trees are a threat to NOTL’s power lines

“NOTL Hydro is fully aware that the number of outages has been much higher than normal, starting last summer. Increasing the tree-trimming budget and activity is one of the actions being taken to try to reduce outages,” writes Tim Curtis, president and CEO of NOTL Hydro.

Opinion: Don’t let the darkness enveloping America spread to Canada

“On April 28, Canadians can choose to put aside our regional bickering, reject populist leadership, and elect a prime minister capable of leading Canada through these dark times. We must have a strong national leader who has never been in the thrall of the Trump cult and whose policies do not align with MAGA ideology,” writes Keith McNenly.

Opinion: NOTL’s library is an invaluable community asset

“Over my career, we have come to realize that the basis of early child development is the wiring and pruning of neural connections in a child’s brain, nestled in a backdrop of positive emotional, relational health — yes, love builds brains!” writes Dr. Robin Williams.

Opinion: Thank you for re-electing me to represent our home

“When I spoke to residents on the doorstep this campaign, top of mind for people was health care. We must invest more in our public health care system and protect it from the threat of American-style for-profit privatization,” writes MPP-elect Wayne Gates.

Opinion: The last sunrise before Trump’s second reign

“Canada is a free country, making our own decisions as citizens and forging our own democratic path in the world. Exchange independence for two of 100 seats in an undemocratic U.S. Senate? The 51st state indeed,” writes Keith McNenly.
