Dear Editor: I was disappointed to read MAC’s most recent column on “cancel culture.” Of all the examples of cancel culture he gave, none of these products have actually been cancelled. Being cancelled would imply that someone/something was completely de-platformed, stripped of their power, shunned from society, and no longer allowed to profit, and usually […]

Dear Editor: I urge Canton residents to cast your Select Board vote for Reuki Schutt on April 6. I met Reuki almost 20 years ago, when she was […]

Oil prices remain depressed around the world and nearly 20 percent of homes in the northeast rely on oil furnaces for their heating source. According to the EIA, spending for propane is projected to grow 14 percent […]
Fellow Citizens: I really don’t understand what some of us are so angry about. I urge you to think about how the president has been deftly leading us into a true V-shaped recovery: While the above was penned with tongue in cheek, the graph clearly illustrates our critical need for real leadership.

Dear Editor: As a conservative, I find myself with virtually no platform for speech. Conservatives have often been censored from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and many newspapers and news outlets.
