I’m so tired of politicians trying to buy me off with my own money. If it’s not Trudeau, with his carbon rebate, it’s Ford, with his Dougie Dollars. In all likelihood, it’s tax money you should have never collected. Now that you have it, do our future generations a favour and pay down your (our) debt.
(It’s all politics– giving us a tiny sliver of our own money back in this form, they believe has a bigger impact and that it will be remembered come election time)
DONATE YOUR $200
Might I suggest to all those opposed to $200 from the Ford government to not do as Bonnie Crombie suggests and donate it to the Liberals, but instead a much better idea is to give it to food kitchens.

UNDER PRESSURE
Re “Premiers fight to lower gas taxes” (Jay Goldberg, Nov. 1): Goldberg must be the ultimate optimist if he believes that Trudeau’s outrageous gas taxes will last past early 2025, when Canadians will go to the polls, burdened by multiple efforts to force the Liberals to call an election. Just consider these current issues regarding the failure of this government: The ongoing Green Slush Fund; the Bloc’s unwavering efforts to press for support for a non-confidence motion along with support from Poilievre (not so sure about Singh); refusal to release unredacted documents from the foreign interference inquiry; and finally, the foment among many Lib MPs for Trudeau to step down. How long can the Liberals withstand this pressure? Certainly not for another year.

WAY TO GO DOUG
Fortunately, for we citizens of Ontario, Doug Ford won’t back down from the left-wing crazies who convinced our hopeless city council in Toronto to construct bike lanes on our main arteries. These clowns block emergency vehicles, cause major jams, cause construction holdups, etc., only for the pleasure of a few selfish individuals who want to ride their bikes in good weather to everyone else’s detriment. Good on you, Doug.
