A DIVIDED NATION
Canada is changing. Three major cities control all of Canada and they do not care for the rest of Canada. Quebec will only bluff to separate. Alberta will hopefully separate. Saskatchewan might even follow. This will take years, but the three major cities will not change, so it is inevitable. The Liberals will always be in power and it is dividing our once great country. Viva le Canada, but I think not.

(There will eventually come a time when a change in government will happen — but the Conservatives have a lot of work to do to penetrate through to those big cities.)
FORD WAS THE MAN
There has been so much negativity written and rumoured about Rob Ford’s way of living. I would like to hear about what he did for the ordinary people who lived in Toronto and had a problem. He stayed up late to catch up on returning these calls personally. He then worked on solving many of these problems. Could you see any mayor since then putting themselves out as he did? That is just one instance of how he felt for the people he worked for and who voted him in. I have not lived in Toronto for many years; however I was born, educated and worked there until it became so crowded and I could not walk on the streets without fear of being accosted or worse. I want to thank John Snobelen for his column about Rob Ford (“Remembering Rob Ford for his spirit and compassion,” June 21.) And who knows how far he would have gone to better the lives of all in Toronto if he hadn’t been struck down with cancer after first recovering from his problem. May he rest in peace.

ZIP IT PUTIN
I think the funniest (or most pathetic) article I’ve read was Russian President Vladimir Putin commenting on the U.S. attack on Iran as “unprovoked” and “unjustified.” Hmmm … kettle black comes to mind.
