YOU WANT TO TALK REPREHENSIBLE, JUSTIN?

Article content

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Palestinian protests at a Toronto hospital reprehensible.

Know what else is reprehensible, Justin? Among other things, your outrageous waste of taxpayer dollars such as on the inept ArriveCan app, green slush funds, your multiple failed policies resulting in rampant increases in crime, homelessness, drug use, exorbitant inflation, and your spending on yourself when so many are struggling, plus your constant gaslighting and absence of transparency.

BILLIONS LOST

Re: Trudeau Grits an obstacle to world investment, Lorne Gunter column, Feb. 21

Wow. So Canada has lost out on billions of dollars in investments since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Co. have been running things and, as per an Alberta government official, “more than $20 billion in investments are waiting on the sidelines in Alberta for a change of government in Ottawa.”

A column such as this should be a must-read for all Canadian voters. It’s a good thing we got rid of that prime minister with the economics degree and replaced him with a drama and math teacher.

MONEY NOT WELL SPENT

Re: As drug ODs escalate, cities need help, Warren Kinsella column, Feb. 21

A special thank you to Warren Kinsella for succinctly summing up the issue. We, through our government, spent tens of millions of dollars on an unneeded app that never worked, paying money to people who did no work, and now will spend millions more on lawyers and judges to argue about who did what.

But citizens — real people — dying in our streets because of illegal and dangerous drugs? Thoughts and prayers.

NDP MUST ACT NOW

The most recent Nanos Research poll shows the Liberals at 23.8 per cent and the NDP at 21.9 per cent nationally. Given the margin of error, the NDP could literally be “ahead” of the Liberals right now. If the NDP wants a chance to be the government of Canada or the official opposition, it needs to urgently move now to separate itself from the Liberals and their disastrous track record, and work aggressively to defeat the Trudeau government in the House of Commons.

If the NDP does not move expeditiously, then this will be the moment when the NDP not only loses the next election, but even dies as a federal political party, as it becomes as irrelevant as the People’s Party of Canada.
