CARNEY’S NO IMPROVEMENT

One positive thing, which came out of the Chiang fiasco, is it basically exposed as to what kind of a leader Mark Carney would be while leading this nation for the next four years. From snowboard instructor to bean-counter, can the incumbent federal Liberals slide any further down the septic pipe? Canadians need a reliable government in Ottawa, who will get back to basics and start rebuilding this once-great nation on April 28.

DONALD K. MUNROE

(We need big changes in Ottawa, that’s for sure.)

DIVIDE AND CONQUER

With all the talk of separation I propose that a split if made must include Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. With the four western provinces working together and the resources we have we could be the richest country in the world. After the split we would be known as Eastern Canada and Western Canada each with their own government. You would then have a very poor and weak Liberal government and a very powerful Conservative government. Sucks voting in the liberals for another term that has no use for Western Canada except for our subsidy payments.

D. GAUMONT

(That’s quite the proposal. Very unlikely though.)

PREMIER SMITH WINS!

Canada being exempt from new reciprocal tariffs announced by Donald Trump this week is a “victory” for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith as the only Canadian politician practising calm diplomacy with America, rather the confrontational approach of Ontario’s Doug Ford or Canada’s paper tiger approach of revenge tariffs. Does anyone think for a moment that Donald Trump was afraid of Doug Ford or Mark Carney? Take a bow Premier Smith! When all the other politicians and pundits in Canada were wrong, you were right! Alberta is safer tonight because of you!

CHRIS ROBERTSON

(We are certainly better off.)

PRESIDENT PLAYED

Let’s be honest, Trump got played by Putin. Trump’s disrespect for Zelenskyy and Ukraine emboldened Putin. The Russian leader won’t end the war in Ukraine until he’s completely destroyed it. Putin won’t stop there. He’ll weaken NATO and he’ll likely set his sites on the Baltic states. This is all thanks to Trump and his idiotic foreign policies.

MARIA WEISS

(A lot of Trump’s policies don’t seem very well thought out, do they?)
