11 h. ago Letters August 14, 2025: ‘Canada has fallen behind thanks to a decade of Liberal policies.’

CANADA HAS FALLEN BEHIND I am usually not a conspiracy theorist, however there is no doubt in my mind the weak-kneed federal government of the last 10 years here has been played like a harp. Russia, Saudi Arabia, and other oil-producing countries have paid sycophants doing amazing work spreading the worst-case scenario of climate change […]

GOLDEN DOME SHEEP Re: Path cleared for Canada to take part in Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ missile shield, online, Aug. 7 I swear to God, a five-year-old could do a better job negotiating with Donald Trump. From what has been released so far, it appears we are joining the U.S. in their endeavour to weaponize space […]

WHAT A DOPE  So, let me get this straight: If Canada is a source country of fentanyl entering the U.S.A. (only 1%), what does this say about the inept Trumpster’s border patrol for not finding and stopping that fentanyl from entering the country in the first place? I’m all ears for the Trump logic. Over […]

HARPER’S HELP? A GOOD SIGN Re: Harper says Carney team sought his trade advice, urges looking outside U.S., online, July 28 I understand that our current prime minister asked former prime minister Stephen Harper for his help on trade talks, and it reminded me that Harper had once asked for Mark Carney’s help on financial […]

5 d. ago Letters August 9, 2025: ‘We shoul dtake a page from Trump and beef up our own protectionism.’

A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY Whenever Donald Trump decides to reduce or eliminate the importation of a specific product he often cites national security. For example, he claims that if the U.S.A. doesn’t control the steel industry, they won’t be able to manufacture tanks needed to protect the country. The result is tariffs that make […]

ASSISTING AID Re “Israel is losing the propaganda wars” (Warren Kinsella, July 29): Powerful prose by Warren Kinsella! Is this a case of ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’ or is Israel intentionally starving civilian Gazans. From the onset on Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas has lied about every issue from lack of aid to the source […]

COPYCAT CARNEY REWARDS HAMAS Re: JAY GOLDBERG: Carney’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state rewards terrorism, online, Aug. 1 Like British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Mark Carney, through his actions, proves violence works. It gets terrorists the results they want. Gazans are mere pawns to them. And hostage-taking is a successful tactic accepted by weak-kneed […]

Living in the past Re: Kamala Harris Tells Stephen Colbert That U.S. Democracy Is ‘Broken’… It almost sounds like Kamala Harris is still licking her wounds from the Democrats’ crushing defeat by the Republicans in the U.S. Presidential elections last November. Harris needs to suck it up and move on. Donald K. Munroe (Or she […]
