		<title>A question of bias and facts according to letter writer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Editor,

</p><p>Mr. Dyer never fails to fulfill his anti-Israel bias, as he most recently demonstrated in his May 3 editorial. After the peace process, Mr. Dyer writes that "the two-state solution is dead in terms of Israeli politics."

</p><p>Mr. Dyer seems to ignore that it takes two willing parties to make peace and there is one inconvenient fact ... </p>]]></description>

		<title>Blame Uncle Moe for our high energy costs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Editor,

</p><p>Ever wonder why energy costs in Ontario are among the highest in North America?

</p><p>It can be traced back to the appointment of Maurice Strong as Ontario Hydro chairman by then NDP Premier Bob Rae in 1992. It was probably just coincidental that Strong happened to be a good friend of the Rae family, who called him "Uncle Moe" when ... </p>]]></description>

		<title>These things are totally unnecessary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Editor,

</p><p>What do plastics, zippers and batteries all have in common? Answer: sooner or later they always let you down.

</p><p>This haiku is in response to Lewis Zandbergen's heartfelt plaint last week against the rubbishing of our planet with (totally unnecessary) plastic.

		<title>It's not just the village of Hastings!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Editor,

</p><p>The residents and merchants of the village of Hastings will be terribly inconvenienced and distressed when Parks Canada removes or repairs the bridge over Lock 18 on the Trent River. It will impose a 40-kilometre detour to anyone wishing to cross from one half of the town to the other.

		<title>What constituted a hotbed of vice in 1881?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[<p>EMC Editorial -There are tons of laws on the books that might have made perfect sense a century or more ago but lack relevance in today's world. For instance, did you know that in Fort Qu'Appelle, Quebec, it is illegal for a teen to walk downtown main street with his shoes untied? That brings us to local law and order circa 1881.
