CANADA HAS FALLEN BEHIND

I am usually not a conspiracy theorist; however, there is no doubt in my mind the weak-kneed federal government of the last 10 years here has been played like a harp. Russia, Saudi Arabia, and other oil-producing countries have paid sycophants doing amazing work spreading the worst-case scenario of climate change to suckers like our federal government — all the while reaping the benefits of the growing demand for fossil fuels. So while the federal Liberals were drafting horrible, debilitating anti-oil and gas legislation, we lost billions of energy dollars. And we also are more than 10 years behind on energy infrastructure. Does anyone other than myself see how the federal Liberals sold us out?

(Former prime minister Justin Trudeau took the Liberals down an ideological path which was more akin to the NDP. He was enabled by incompetent cabinet ministers and a politically driven staff who were more interested in fawning headlines than doing what was good for Canada’s economy)

BUILD SOME JAILS

This letter is a little off topic in recent current events. I wanted to touch base on our prison bail system and how people accused of serious are getting bail so easily. This is ridiculous. The reason for this is because of overcrowding in our jails. Our government spends billions of dollars on homeless people, immigration and our welfare system. I have not heard any politician mention anything about building more jails, prisons or penitentiaries. We, as a society, have to realize that this is the only solution for the law-abiding citizens living here. This would not only create jobs for people, but also keep innocent people safe from others doing terrible crimes. To me this is a no-brainer. Come on, Premier Ford. Get with the program.

(Sadly, this issue is never off topic — since it happens nearly every week. When is the public going to say,’Enough is enough?’)

DEFEAT IN HAND

Re “Carney in cruise control” (Warren Kinsella, Aug. 10): What we really need to do is to get this closet-communist, dictator, minority government into Parliament, and defeat them!

(The Liberals are going to be in control for quite a while, unfortunately)
