INVESTIGATION THWARTED

Re “Covering up a cover up” (Warren Kinsella, Oct. 19): In Israel, before the atrocious Hamas attack on civilians overshadowed protest, citizen objections against judicial overhaul had the potential to topple the Netanyahu government. Notwithstanding the constitutional debate regarding the supremacy of court power to overrule government authority, that looks a lot like democracy in action. In Canada, in egregious government overreach, parliamentary standards bequeathed from early British tradition are ignored by the Trudeau government when they tried to force the justice minister to interfere in the application of Criminal Code provisions. And they thwart an RCMP investigation. That looks a lot like a basic dictatorship.

(Which Trudeau admires in China. But how does the RCMP just quit investigating because the Liberals didn’t send them documents? That’s a bigger question)

THIS IS THE NDP

Re “NDP’s Stiles defends MPP who insults Jewish community — again” (Brian Lilley, Oct. 18): We all knew exactly what Sarah Jama was all about when she ran for the NDP party in the last election. Her views were well published. If the NDP and Marit Stiles — their leader — had any ethics or sense of morality, she would be thrown out of the party. She is just another example of the calibre of people that the NDP want representing them. At least Ford, who has made his share of mistakes recently, throws people out of caucus when they spew racist views.

(The NDP has a big problem on their hands when it comes to issues in the Middle East, but aren’t going to do anything about it)

NOT THERE FOR THE KIDS

Teachers: ‘We are here for your children!’ Real meaning? We strike every year to be sometimes here for your children.

(Wouldn’t it be refreshing if we didn’t go through this drama for at least one year?)

LIBERALS’ MALICE

Allan Fotheringham’s book Malice in Blunderland, critiquing a former generation of Canadian politicos and decision-makers, deserves to have a second companion volume added to the first — one covering this woeful Justin Trudeau era now reaching its very nadir of ignominy. Such a book would be intended to show readers how the Trudeau Liberals’ capacity for malice was more than matched by their penchant for silly blundering.
