INDY CLASSIC
As Toronto enjoyed another annual Honda Indy on a beautiful summer weekend, let’s flash forward to 2034. That will inevitably be the last running of this fabulous motor event, I guess, because the following year all gasoline-powered cars will be outlawed?!

RAT THEM OUT
We don’t want the city rat situation to get worse, so we need to use every opportunity to get rid of them. First, whenever a house or building is scheduled for demolition, the city pest control should take this opportunity to eliminate the rat problem first. The distribution of rat killing food followed by the removal of the dead rodents will make it better for those dismantling the building and at the same time stop the exodus of rats to nearby structures. Preventing the spread makes more sense than dealing with the spread after the fact.

PANDEMIC TRUTHS
Re “Crown seeks to make Convoy organizers political prisoners” (Brian Lilley, July 22): When will someone finally be held accountable for the invocation of the Emergencies Act, which our Federal Court has ruled was absolutely illegal? This outrageous sentencing request is just one more example of the contempt in which we are held by our controlling overlords and their minions. The truth is we’re living in a country where democracy has become nothing more than an unattainable illusion! To believe otherwise is self-delusional. Wake up and pay attention, Canada!

HALF MEASURE
Britain wants to lower the voting age to 16 hoping to get a larger turnout at the polls. Why the half measure? While you’re at it, take it down to 12 — that way you could set up polling booths right in the schools and the kids could skip math while they go down to the cafeteria to cast their little votes.

(This is a terrible idea which we should not adopt here)
