BUY CANADIAN, CARNEY? Radio and TV ads urge Canadians to buy Canadian. Keep our money in Canada. Help Canadian businesses and stimulate the economy. So what did Mark Carney do in one of his first actions as Canada’s prime minister, before calling an election? He granted a $6-billion contract to upgrade our radar defence technology […]

2 w. ago Letters, March 30, 2025: ‘Liberals eating Conservatives’ lunch’

Tories in trouble Carney is winning because he is the true conservative. Carney takes all of the winning policies away from Poilievre and then leaves Poilievre desperate to differentiate himself with nothing but scraps of imported American culture war nonsense. The Liberals have become conservatives and the conservatives have become a bargain-bin MAGA movement, and […]

Petulant attitude It’s a sad reflection on our provincial government for Premier Danielle Smith to not go to the first ministers meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney.
