CARNEY IS THE SAME OLD LIB
While I was deeply disappointed that Pierre Poilievre wasn’t successful in the past election, I had hope that, although the team was the same, Mark Carney would turn out to be someone different than his predecessor. Turns out he is the same. Watching question period over the past week the Liberals continue using the same talking points and refuse to answer a question, Carney included. I guess honesty and transparency are not Liberal attributes.

(Evasion is the language the Liberals understand. It’s too bad we have to endure for another term)
AFFORDABLE AT WHAT COST?
Could someone please explain the term “affordable housing.” I keep hearing this term from every politician wanting to get elected. Is there a price on these houses? Are they mortgage free? How about affordable housing for seniors? Mayor Olivia Chow has raised property taxes more than 20% over her short term of office. My fixed income, based on the amount I was entitled to some 10 years ago, has no inflation clause to keep up with present-day costs. I guess Chow’s idea of creating new housing is to squeeze pensioners out of their homes when they cannot afford to pay the taxes! I have never heard this socialist elite mayor ever say the words “cut back” on anything.

(None of them ever define what is affordable housing, it’s just a term that sounds good but is meaningless in reality)
JUST OPEN IT
I read that the Eglinton Crosstown should be up and running by September (“Eglinton Crosstown rolling soon: Ford,” Jane Stevenson, June 4). Please inform all the politicians to not waste time and money on a grand opening ceremony. There’s nothing to celebrate. Just open it. How anything that’s long overdue and way overbudget can be celebrated for finally being in service is beyond me. Ha, that could be Metrolinx mantra: ‘If it’s not overdue and overbudget, it’s not Metrolinx.’
