SAME OLD, SAME OLD

To start, I must say I always enjoy and agree with Adrienne Batra’s opinions on politics. Little changed on the political scene in the municipal election last Monday night. No change or optimism for Mississauga, Toronto, or Brampton. John Tory will do nothing different than he did during his previous terms. Tory is all talk and no action. Bonnie Crombie is no Hazel McCallion. Crombie’s Mississauga is one of high taxes, poorly operating transit, and horribly maintained infrastructure. Smarten up voting next time, GTA!

(Yet both of these mayors were easily reelected with arguably one of the lowest voter turnouts)

IN GOOD HEALTH

I hope that King Charles lives a long and healthy life; we can’t afford another obscenely expensive Trudeau delegation to London for anyone’s funeral.

NOT BAD LUCK

Re “Bad events for Trudeau nudge Poilievre closer to power” (Warren Kinsella, Oct. 26): Clearly, Mr. Kinsella doesn’t get it. The rise in interest rates and the rise of inflation and the rise of gas prices are not a result of bad luck, as Mr. Kinsella seems to think. Rather, they are about excessive spending after being warned many times. This situation could have been avoided for the most part, and is self-inflicted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Kinsella’s second point about the use of the Emergencies Act was not, as Kinsella contends, that the Liberal government was “nudged” by police, to go into effect. The facts are that all the heads of all the police forces, while under oath, never asked the Trudeau government to engage the Emergencies Act. On the contrary. When asked, they said that they could have handled the protest themselves with their own measures.

(The rising cost of inflation is a very real and daily issue for Canadians. As long as Poilievre sticks to those issues, Trudeau has no good answers)

JUST DISGUSTING 

Anger, frustration, disgust, resignation — all emotions I felt when I learned that our free-spending prime minister allegedly assigned him and his wife to a hotel room costing $6,000 a night for five nights while attending the Queen’s funeral in London, England. It was in the same hotel that he took part in a much-criticized singsong before attending the solemn funeral. How can any citizen of Canada support the Liberal Party after this blatant thumbing of Justin Trudeau’s nose at responsible spending? He refuses to answer questions and will mark time until the anger dies down. The media will decide on reporting other news, as they know today’s news will be tomorrow’s garbage-wrapping. They also know that as citizens, we will not be able to act in a smart manner!

(He is an embarrassment and an unserious leader that has benefited from ineffectual opponents the last couple of elections. Let’s hope next time around things are different)
