YOU SAID IT: No Wilson-Rayboulds

Article content

I can’t see any one of the ministers in the Liberal cabinet qualified as PM material. But then again, neither was Trudeau.

After observing wannabe Champagne’s pathetic conduct at the ArriveCAN committee and in the House, he is just another Trudeau phoney.

The one minister who had integrity was Jody Wilson-Raybould. She refused to be just another one of Trudeau’s lap dogs. It was so unfair that Trudeau walked away from that scandal while JWR ended up paying the price for his egregious wrongdoing.

LOOK HOW FAR WE’VE COME

Remember when personal computers first hit the market? Oh, your life was instantly going to be changed. Everything, and I mean everything, was going to be “that much easier.” Or was it? Sure you could read a book, or even a newspaper without going to the local library. Mathematical calculations could and would be done in a blink of an eye. You could even write a letter with spelling and grammatical errors corrected instantly!

Forty years, plus or minus a few years, what do we have? All those things mentioned and then some. Interestingly enough, not from a laptop or desktop computer, but from that little hand-held device called a cellphone!

OK, what’s the down side? Well, the younger generation seems to be incapable of telling time without a digital watch. It is incapable of writing — sometimes even signing a name is a chore. On and on, you get the idea.

The upside? It always amazes me how fast people’s thumbs can travel when texting! I hope this little bit of profundity lightens your day. Google profundity if you don’t know what it means.

DELAY A SHOCKER

The delay of the Trillium “Streetcar to Nowhere” line is such a shocker. I mean, who would have thought that the most successful and brilliantly engineered transit system on the globe would not be on time or on budget? The whole project has been an unbelievable quagmire and taxpayer money pit. Shame on those responsible.
