GET TOUGH U OF T

I, as a graduate of the University of Toronto, am ashamed at how the university can be taken hostage by way of people who want to progress their own cause. Last time I checked, U of T was private property. You want to protest, go to a public park. Stop making idle threats and fire the teachers and suspend the students who go against the directive of the university. This is called lawlessness and happens because people are afraid to get tough with hooligans in society.

(The U of T could have acted sooner and with more purpose. Now they have a bigger mess on their hands and the majority of the student body is suffering from their inaction)

STAND WITH OUR JEWISH FRIENDS

Seeing all the recent anti-Semitism increasing along with pro-Palestinian support (which is turning more and more to pro-Hamas support) angers and disgusts me. The fact that our governments have not come out strongly in favour of Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack is profoundly upsetting, and actually encourages terrorism. I suggest it is time someone, or some organization, come out with a small bracelet or armband in support of Israel. I am not Jewish, but I would proudly wear such a small symbol to support our Jewish neighbours and friends, along with the democratic country of Israel.

FORD SHOULD PAY DOWN THE DEBT

Re “Speedy booze sales for an early election?” (Jerry Agar, May 27): The column contains an interesting idea: Take the $600 million Ontario’s Keystone Kabinet will have to borrow to pay off the beer cartel, and use it to pay down the debt. You know, that just might not work.
