PIERRE PASSE
Re “Poilievre fighting ghosts as party loyalists grumble about campaign defeat” (Brian Lilley, July 9): Consider the resume of Pierre Poilievre. A lifetime politician trained to peck away at others with slogans and jabs. Consider a Conservative party leader with actual leadership, international and real-world work experience. Surely there is a candidate who would be an outstanding prime minister. Democracy in Canada would be stronger; the Conservatives would actually win. Time to thank Poilievre for his service and move forward.

ON THE MARK
It’s so nice to see Canadians proudly waving our flag and wearing phrases like “Canada Is Not For Sale,” “Never 51” and “Elbows Up.” Our government, due to unjust tariffs, has reduced trade barriers between provinces and territories while looking for new trade partners and realizing the trade potential of our natural resources worldwide. Canadians, please be patient. It will take time before the above bears fruit and our economy is revitalized. Give Prime Minister Mark Carney a chance to turn things around, eh?

HIGHWAY HASSLES
It has always been an irritant for me when I hear of lengthy full closures of highways for police investigations. Sure, first responders and police safety are paramount, but something needs to be done to speed up the process. Are there not better (quicker) ways to conduct the investigations and have there been reviews of the value of all these processes that take so much time? Are we doing this for insurance companies, the ability to lay charges or just safety? The cost of traffic congestion is in the billions and I think a full review and strict protocols are needed to reduce this situation.
