BALLOT SHENANIGANS

Re “Ballot interlopers plan 200-name scroll for Poilievre” (Bryan Passifiume, May 6): I see the Longest Ballot Committee is now going to target Battle River-Crowfoot, where Pierre Poilievre is expected to run in a byelection in the near future. Their plan to run 200 candidates should be deemed “election interference” and banned by Elections Canada. They screwed Poilievre and the people of both Carleton and all of Canada once. They should be prevented from doing this again.

GO AFTER THE LIBS

The Longest Ballot Committee says they want election reform. The Liberals promised election reform in 2015. It’s the Liberals who still haven’t come up with anything concrete. If that is what the committee’s supposed outcome is, why didn’t they target Mark Carney’s riding? Why target Pierre Poilievre in the first place, and why again?

BET ON MUSK

Tesla has had its worst quarter ever, with sales down 9% and profits steadily dropping. Many Democrats in office and in the communities will be giggling, as they rub their hands together believing they have downed a monstrous Goliath! When do you think the people celebrating this demise will realize that through their intentional illegal activity, the result will be massive job loss now and economical stagnation in the future? Successful companies provide opportunity, employment and quality of life for their employees. This is aimed at Elon Musk, and DOGE, who have found redundancy and undeniable government-wide abuse of taxpayers’ hard-earned money. The people who have actively participated in the attack on Tesla have been used by the very people who direct the taxpayers’ funds to better their own political and financial positions. When the other shoe falls, it will deafening.

(They are sick people for cheering for the demise of Tesla. Certainly there has been a dip for the company but it is still one of the most successful in the world, and will continue to be. Also, except one, no Democrats condemned the violence from these anti-Tesla lunatics)
