YOU SAID IT: Hang in there, Canada

Congratulations to Mark Carney. Tough time to come to power when my ill-advised president and his personal attack dog (J.D. Vance) are nipping at more than your heels.

I understand the wave of anti-American feeling. We deserve it.

Ignore Donald Trump as best you can, or square up to him. He is very temporary. In just a year and a half, we hold mid-term elections; he will be reined in and his rubber-stamp politburo will go away. Hoping to see him impeached at that point.

Stand tall.

WE SHOULD BE OUTRAGED

Canadians should be outraged that Parliament was prorogued unnecessarily for what everyone knew would be Mark Carney’s coronation.

This will go down in Canadian history as one of the most egregious attacks on democracy. Canadians got their new leader based on just over 150,000 loyal Liberals voting. Nobody should ever criticize how other nations select leaders after this farce.

We now have replaced one World Economic Forum/Globalist leader with yet another with identical radical policies.

HOW OFTEN DID HE EAT AT HOME?

Re: Trudeau’s expensive grocery bill, March 2

Just to clarify Justin Trudeau’s grocery expenses, when we are not at home we don’t buy groceries, so when is Trudeau ever home to have a meal? He is always flying off somewhere. That total of $1,515 a week for groceries would do a family of four for a few weeks.

So how much more does it cost to feed our prime minister when he’s not at home?

Might be a small thing to you, but not to the people who are struggling to put food on the table or to find affordable housing.

PLAY BY TRUMP’S RULES

That U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff moves are illogical and economically illiterate is exactly the point: attack, attack, attack, regardless of reason. It’s not about fentanyl. Those components come from China, not Mexico and Canada. It’s a camouflage excuse. But our illegal handguns come from Trumpland. Good enough reason for our reciprocal tariffs, eh?

Trump’s objective is always power. We Canadians need to play by Trump’s rules and those of his 1970s mentor, disbarred lawyer Roy Cohn: go all out, deny everything, never back down and claim victory.

The provinces need to stick together, not capitulate as they do when our federal government picks them off one by one. Sadly, we probably cannot stick together.
