Vive le Magasinage aux États-Unis
Question of the week
Question de la semaine
L'attitude de notre représentant local est des plus déplorable. Notre représentant fédéral devrait favoriser nos entreprises et notre économie locale. Ceci est un coup dûr pour nos emplois et notre économie locale. l n'y a pas doute qu'un devrait tout faire pour appuyer et favoriser nos détaillants lo- caux. Mario Leclerc Candidat du NPD aux élections 2011 Stormont, Dundas et Glengarry sud Cross border shopping takes money away from local businesses and retailers and their employees and families. In addition, local businesses and retailers pay taxes in our community. From personal experience, I know that our local businesses and retailers are very gen- erous in their support of local charities, service clubs, organizations and commu- nity projects that improve the quality of life in our community. They deserve our sup- port.
Lettre au rédacteur:
Comment trouvez-vous les Colts en séries éliminatoires cette année?
Je ne pouvais pas en croire mes yeux quand j'ai lu dans le journal Standard Freeholder que notre député actuel a déclaré que le magasinage l'autre bord de la frontière est bon pour Cornwall. Les propriétaires de petites et moyennes entreprises savent très bien qu'il y a déja assez de monde qui magasinent aux États- Unis comme ça. Pourquoi notre gouverne- ment favorise davantage le magasinage hors-frontière!
« Vraiment content. J y vais de temps en temps, c est une bonne équipe cette année. »

Should encourage local businesses
It s great that they made the playoffs, I m very proud of them, they re from Cornwall.
To the editor:
I was surprised to read a recent state- ment by SD&SG M.P. Guy Lauzon taking credit for a cross border shopping meas- ure in the federal budget that raised the limits substantially on tax-free goods im- ported from the United States. Mr. Lauzon is reported as stating that this was one of the suggestions from his riding and that this will benefit many border towns , including Cornwall. I can’t see how encouraging cross border shopping in the United States helps the local economy.

Waterfront land available for casino in city
at least discuss the issue and see if we could take the first step in the “Cornwall Casino” project by following Chairman Godfrey’s suggestion and find out the stance of the local government. On a personal note, I think that there is land available on the waterfront for a casino and entertainment centre and also we are already seeing lots of our local money end up at the other casinos. It would be nice to see some of this money stay at home.
To the editor:
The Ontario Government has recently been discussing plans to overhaul gam- bling in the province and at the same time the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission have plans to unlock greater funding for health care and ed- ucation. In a recent interview OLG Chairman Paul Godfrey said OLG would not make a move to build a casino in Toronto or any- where else in Ontario until it knew the stance of the local government. I strongly urge Cornwall city council to
