Ben, I really enjoy your reporting/articles. All the best to you and your family. Thanks so much for giving us this open net work to freedom of speech, and the opportunity to express our personal views on political and non-political issues.

Happy Christmas Ben and Elaine and to yours. CBC Radio one has superb music, it is warmer and very beautiful out. We are all very lucky. To all the readers and contributors may you all enjoy this day.

May I join in the Good Wishes for Ben and Elaine and their family, friends and neighbours!

Your opinion forum is a great one! May the New Year bring more fun and excitement!
