Letter to the editor: It has come to this

Article content

A large convenience store chain recently reduced its gas price as a promotion for just a few hours one day, and on passing by one could see chaos at its pumps, with cars coming from every direction and untethered drivers jockeying for spots in front of a gas pump to save no more than a few dollars.

Sadly, it has come down to this as Canadians, who are taxed to death, for just a moment in time feel they’ve won one over the establishments. How sad and utterly degrading, eh?

LET’S MAKE A DAY OF IT

As Canada lurches from crisis to crisis with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s ethics scandals, broken promises and dysfunctional government, let’s come together as a nation and declare July 1, 2024 as Fire Trudeau Day.

Canadians have had enough of Trudeau and his irresponsible Liberal government, which have hurt Canadians at unimaginable levels from just years ago with a housing crisis, unaffordable food in our stores and crushing debt.

At noon on July 1, 2024, wherever you are, open your window and shout out in your maddest and loudest voice: “Fire Trudeau! Fire Trudeau! Fire Trudeau!”

KEEP THE STREETS CLEAR

Re: Jumping Through Hoops; Stittsville residents frustrated by basketball bylaw, May 23

I understand the joy parents get when their children are outdoors playing basketball or street hockey. My grandsons do the same.

You must realize you are very fortunate, having paid for double driveways and double garages. You can simply park one car or both cars in the garage so that the basketball net can be in the driveway. This will also help with car theft. Most garages are filled with everything but cars and the streetscape is ugly.

Let’s all help our sanitation employees do their job by keeping streets clear for easier and quicker pickup of our garbage. More so on garbage day.
