LA MALABIE, Quebec — They walked the ancient halls, gazed out on the mighty St. Lawrence River, felt the cool Quebec breezes, ate Charlevoix Basque-style duck breast with pumpernickel bread chips followed by Saskatoon berry sorbet, and sipped wines from the Gaspereau Valley of Nova Scotia and the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. Then everything […]

Appreciative of those who made Summer Street reconstruction project a reality
Editor, As the Summer Street reconstruction work nears completion in Kennebunk, I’m feeling appreciative of the citizens and officials who worked together to make this project happen.

Gene Lyons: ‘Owning the libs’ is the whole pointless point
One reason I failed to see Donald Trump coming is that I never saw even a single episode of “The Apprentice.” Indeed, I’d be hard put to name a single “reality TV” program I’ve watched from beginning to end.

Editor, Once again Biddeford’s Mayor stated (Journal Tribune Sept. 12, 2019 and City Council Workshop/Public Hearing Sept. 10, 2019) that there is a lot of misinformation going around, in reference to the proposed parking garage.

Gordon Weil: British politics foretell GOP decline
The future of the Republican Party may be written in London. The splintering of the British Conservative Party over Brexit looks remarkably similar to what might happen to the Republicans. The Conservatives, taken over by right-wing activists, tossed 21 members of Parliament out of the party after they refused to give the Prime Minister a […]

Byron York: Yes, Comey leaked classified information
The new report from the Justice Department inspector general proves beyond any doubt that fired FBI Director James Comey leaked sensitive law enforcement material in the Trump-Russia investigation. Doing so set a “dangerous example” for the bureau’s other employees, Inspector General Michael Horowitz wrote. Still, Comey’s supporters have claimed exoneration on one front: that Comey […]

Horton’s column was utter hogwash
Editor, In his column published in the Journal tribune on Sept. 10, Dr. Joseph Horton states: “The latest debate is about whether it should be that marriage produces better outcomes. The argument is that with the right government policies, any conceivable family structure could be at least as good as marriage.” Later in the column he […]

Robert Koehler: Defying the nuclear sword
“. . . and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.” These lost words — Isaiah 2:4 — are nearly 3,000 years old. Did they ever have political traction? To believe them today, and act on them, […]
