MADE IN CANADA
Instead of giving billions of dollars to the softwood lumber industry and steel industry, would it not be better served if the government purchased these items to keep the industry going and use these items to reduce the cost of building houses and apartment buildings? This would lower the cost of building and stimulate the housing market, and subsequently the retail market as people purchase items to fill these houses and units.

CONTROLLING OUR LIVES
Re “Carney’s Liberals hiding immigration data as questions mount” (Brian Lilley, Aug. 11): Why is this a surprise? Mark Carney, a total stranger to most Canadians, was chosen in a secret sinister Liberal coup that in partnership with our liberal mainstream media gerrymandered this ruinous green global oligarch into our PMO! As we now see, he is, of course, just a slicker version of Justin Trudeau and has continued that plot to destroy our country with the same old, same old radical left ruinous policies. I fervently hope the gullible fools whose votes enabled this steal are the first to suffer the deprivations of their decision to put another deceitful Liberal in control of our lives!

PATH TO RUIN
Why do I have a very strong feeling that the Liberal governments from 2015 to present are eroding the Canadian culture and fabric as we knew it, with their lack of decisions that disconnect our economy by not approving major projects and continuously rising the amount of debt each year. This has been and will prove a recipe for disaster.

BRIEF UPGRADE
Many seem surprised by the polls at the level of public support our current prime minister enjoys. I would submit he enjoys the benefit of a low bar and the mess left by Justin Trudeau which, at least for the moment, makes him look like an upgrade. We’ll see!

(Eventually Carney won’t enjoy this level of support. Eventually)
