A CRISIS CRISIS

Article content

Please tell me when the terms “areas of concern”, “requires immediate attention” or “greater emphasis must be placed” were replaced with the word “crisis”.

We no longer have a system to deal with issues on an as-required basis; everything is deemed a crisis. We have a climate crisis, homelessness crisis, housing crisis, immigration crisis, opioid crisis.

I am starting to feel like Chicken Little.

POLITICAL PRIDE

Re: Pride and prejudice?; Jewish Federation of Ottawa pulls out of Capital Pride parade following pro-Palestinian statement, Aug. 16

It seems to me that the whole Pride community has been hijacked by those with more political agendas. Over the last few years, it has gone from celebrating being a part of one community to being more radical and in-your-face, and that’s not good.

GET POLITICAL AT OWN EXPENSE

If the City of Ottawa is paying for any of the costs for the Pride Parade, this support should immediately be stopped.

If that organization wants to become political, that is fine, but don’t expect the citizens of Ottawa to pay for it.

Our world is so insane. I’m afraid to press alt right or alt left on my computer keyboard anymore. Maybe I should just press escape.
