Is it time to call an end to The Lions?

I'm wondering how many people are actually active on here. We have a few regular posters and some who like articles quite regularly but I think the majority of our subscribers seldom or never visit.

The Lions Locals was set up as a continuation after Danielle Smith closed down Danielle Smith Locals after becoming politically vulnerable.

For a time we maintained connections but lately this seems to have faded away to where there's only a small remnant active, and I suspect many have drifted off to other sites.

Vote to see the results, and give us your thoughts in the comments below.

As of Saturday morning, 42 people have replied, Meaning that at least 42 people visited in the last several days. The vast majority feel that the site has value and, interestingly, those who said that the site has outlived its usefulness visit and participate anyhow.

42 people visiting over a few days seems to justify the effort that members put into posting and offer encouragment. The favorable comments are much appreciated.

46 replies (latest count) in a few days isn't too bad. Indicates quite a few of us are here often, actually.

What I wonder about is the people who voted that the site has outlived its usefulness but are here just the same. Also I wonder how many people came and read the message and didn't vote. When I visualize 45 people in a room, that seems like a respectable crowd for a small get together.

Here's a response in a letter from Patty Johnstone in Ontario ..
I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Jeff, let's get a few things straight!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying CPP & OAS for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). Being a Canadian citizen for over 20 years & paying my taxes, I am eligible at 65 to apply for Old Age Security - OAS (paid for through my taxes).
3. My Canada Pension payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid...
