Can anyone possibly explain what exactly is happening here? The Mark Carney Liberals continue to hold a strong lead in the polls, despite being the preferred choice of both Donald Trump and China. That most Canadians agree with a belligerent bully, and an unapologetic dictatorship that executes its enemies, is astounding to me. When did the Canadian electorate become that complacent and complicit in their critical analysis of leadership and governance?

(Do we really know who Trump supports? And for what reason?)

No decorum

A leader of Canada should outspokenly decry signs that display “F— (Leader)” anywhere.  There has been vandalism of political signs that Prime Minister Carney has vehemently decried.  Pierre Poilievre supporters, since the caravan of bullies closed down Ottawa and were supported with coffee and doughnuts, continue to display vulgarities towards any and all opposition. Trump tactics are not a Canadian standard!

Separate lives

As the conversation about Alberta separating amps up if the Liberals win the election, my solution to that is simple. ‘I’m not Canadian. I’m a proud Albertan.’ I will be making that into bumper stickers and lapel pins. Enough said.

(Fill your boots, but you’re still in the minority here.)

Think on it a little longer

If so many Canadians detest and distrust Donald Trump, then why on Earth would so many voters (as reported in so many polls) be considering casting their vote for Mark Carney, if he is Trump’s preferred choice for Prime Minister? I doubt that they’ve thought this through.

Just not enough

Re: Killer Of Popular Banff Resident Handed Automatic Life Sentence For Murder…

A 12-year life sentence is hardly a life sentence, by any stretch of the imagination. It’s more of a blatant farce, reflective of an already broken-down judicial system. Our courts of law are basically slapping convicted murderers on the wrists, as they get away with murder in this nation. Innocent human lives seem to have little value in our courts today.

Donald K. Munroe

(Things need to change at the federal level for harsher sentencing to even be an option.)
