SIGNS OF SUMMER
With all the negative news every day, this young lady Summer McIntosh from Toronto has become a ray of sunshine for our city. Watching her win medal after medal just goes to show that there’s still hope for better times ahead. Watching her makes us all proud to be Canadian. Keep going, champ, the whole country is proud of you.

MOVING TARGET
Donald Trump keeps saying that it is hard to make a trade deal with Canada. It’s no wonder because he keeps moving the goal posts and no matter what we say, it ain’t good enough. If he expects us to be able to read his mind, we can’t. Trump changes his mind more times than people change their shorts. If we did try to read his mind, how do you read a blank page?

(Is it Trump moving the goal posts or is it that Canada’s negotiators are out of their depth?)
BOY DOING A MAN’S JOB
It’s just plain pathetic reading about Mark Carney. He’s so far out of his element that he’s not even in the same league. He’s said he’ll use all the time that’s necessary and will only agree to a deal if it’s in the best interests of Canadians. Someone please tell him that this is accomplished through negotiation — not procrastination. Any last-minute deal will be one-sided and not in our favour. You Liberal voters sent a boy to do a man’s job. Let’s see how Harvard does against the bully. We already know who will be going to school.

ACT YOUR AGE
Re “Canada should follow U.K.’s move to lower voting age to 16: Senator” (The Canadian Press, July 23): If 16-year-olds are deemed mature enough to make adult decisions, then they should no longer be coddled by the Youth Criminal Justice Act. People 16 and up should be penalized as an adult.

(There are consequences to these types of changes)
