Mr. Harper:
I write about your directing our military to revert to the use of British military rank insignias and designations after 45 years of a home-grown Canadian system.

Open letter to Premier Christy Clark:
Dear Premier Christy Clark.

Dear editor,
It has recently been stated in a local news publication that “Rossland held the notorious tag as the fattest energy town in BC last year”. This deserves comment and correction.
