We start things off today with a letter to the editor.

In this submission, Kemble resident Donna Pettigrew Hepburn shares her deep disappointment with King Charles III following news of a second state visit for Donald Trump while Canada, a loyal Commonwealth nation, has never received such treatment.

Once a proud monarchist, Hepburn now questions Canada's continued ties to the British Crown, calling for a national conversation about independence, respect, and identity.

Read the full letter and share your thoughts.

Public Notices
