TEAR JERKER

I am writing this letter with tears dripping on my phone after reading Justin Trudeau’s emotional goodbye in Joe Warmington’s excellent column of March 8 (“Trudeau tears a facade”), where Trudeau said it was the honour of his life serving Canadians and he always put us first and always had our backs. Well, he was so emotional he actually meant to say he always had his hand in Canadians’ pockets and we were right behind his elitist friends around the world that he met during his endless globe-trotting on taxpayers’ dime. I have more to say, but I am too sad to concentrate anymore on all the things you did for us. So, goodbye, Justin, thanks for everything the past nine years. Canadians will remember and miss you — like a toothache.

CARNEYVAL ACT

As I sit here listening to Mark Carney’s acceptance speech, I have to wonder if the Liberals have any plans of their own. Eliminating consumer carbon tax and the increase in capital gains immediately — Conservative platform. Removing provincial trading barriers — Conservative platform. Using profits from tariffs to assist affected businesses — Conservative platform. And the need for big change — only the Conservatives can deliver that. Could Carney be a Conservative in Liberal clothing?

TIME WARP

Re “Why spring forward?” (The Associated Press, March 8): All my long life I have believed what I was taught when very young — that the time change each spring and fall was to benefit the farmers with the extra light at night in growing season. It always has seemed to be the most reasonable. I, for one, will be glad to see more light (preferably sun) in the evenings. It has been a long winter.
