Letters, Sept. 17, 2025: ‘Putin the boots to Trump’​on September 17, 2025 at 11:00 am

Putin has Trump’s number

Article content

One has to wonder just what Vladimir Putin has on President Trump? He totally embarrassed Trump at the fantastic red carpet rollout meeting in Alaska. Putin continues to wage open war on the Ukrainians, sending in drove after drove of Iranian and Chinese drones killing innocent Ukrainian civilians. Putin then sends 16 drones into Poland, activating Polish and NATO jets to down the drones. What does President Trump state, ‘maybe Putin didn’t mean to do it?’ Really, Donald, what does Putin have on you?

No reason for optimism

It was disappointing to see Premier Smith appear optimistic after Carney’s first ‘to-do’ list was shown. Not one of her 14 demands were included. No surprise to those that know full well what track Carney is on. His globalist plans are slowly evolving. He will hold back on everything she wants to make Canada a successful country. Only allowing tiny tidbits of her plans for changes to take effect. He will allow things to improve slightly then start to implement intense government control.

Stand with Jewish people

Re “Political violence not confined to U.S.” (Editorial, Sept. 14): Mark Carney expresses appropriate revulsion for the murder of Charlie Kirk, as he should. Yet, he is silent about the attacks on Jews in Canada. He does make inane comments to the Jewish community about ‘standing with you,’ but those are hollow words said without conviction or follow-through. Our prime minister’s silence and inaction fail all Canadians. When one group of Canadians are abandoned and isolated, all Canadians should be wary. What group will be next? It is time for Mark Carney to show some moral leadership, or based on his first few months in office, is that too much to expect?

Carney rewards terrorists

You have to wonder. Carney says that he supports a new Palestinian state. Just where would this be? Israel is taking back the Gaza Strip, which just leaves the West Bank. How is he going to support this? Is he going to send our only two functioning war canoes? It’s ludicrous. He is doing nothing but rewarding terrorists for their gross murderous ways.
