The CBC is using a windfall from Google to hire reporters to service 'underserved communities' - but are going into direct competition with community news media publishers in the process.

My wife, Inga and I are long-time Royal Canadian members, and we are concerned about what the soon-to-be-passed Town of Barrhead Neutral Space Bylaw will mean for our chapter.

The problem is the overreach. It's clear to the vast majority of Canadians, that the government has been overreaching (and not on behalf of the veterans who have done so much for us). They're choosing to champion one cause above all else.

Dear Editor, Reflecting on the coming plebiscite in our community I sense a great deal of loss for the well-being of our citizens if we vote yes.

I believe the citizen of our town are tryin to make our community better, but we’re going in two different directions. Some of us don’t get the term, “Neutrality Bylaw,” because it seems exclusive, not neutral.

We Barrheadians, taxpayers, friends, family, coworkers are the individuals that make Barrhead the town that it is! Through multiple viewpoints, experiences, history, and origins the town of Barrhead is formed.

Opposers to neutrality want to make the neutrality issue about people. They will say those who support neutrality dishonour our veterans or hate our neighbours, that we would not be accepting of differences.
