It would seem that Mark Carney is picking up where Justin Trudeau left off.

Surely Canadians are not be going to be duped into voting for an individual who some think plagiarized parts of his doctoral thesis and now continues to take credit for the work of Jim Flaherty and others who handled the 2008 financial crisis and for helping Paul Martin balance the budget.

After 10 years of inept Liberal government, Canada needs a change. I call on the electorate to say no to Carney.

ELECTION SIGN WARNING

To all those who think it’s funny destroying election signs, whether they’re Liberal, Conservative, NDP or any other party, you should know that tampering with election signs is an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada and the Canada Elections Act, and you can face charges for damaging or destroying them. And the punishment can be severe.

CHANGE THINGS UP

Re: Tories losing ground in three battleground provinces: poll, online, April 3

Of course they are.

Poilievre is still running against Justin Trudeau, not Mark Carney. Run an inflexible campaign and watch the results roll in.

Stop fighting past battles and pay attention to the current one(s).

Poilievre needs to change tactics and stop standing behind a lectern barrier. And trash your slogan-of-the-day politics and start talking to, not at, people.

Hey, Tories, you have not won a national election since Stephen Harper. You might want to look at what you are consistently doing wrong.

And change it.

DISGUSTED BY VERDICT

I was disgusted by the verdict brought down on Chris Barber and Tamara Lich over the trucker convoy: guilty for mischief, this after dragging the matter on for years. Hardened criminals would be treated better. They would claim the delays were a denial of justice.

You can’t say “hold the line,” but it seems others can call for “death to Canada” and burn the Canadian flag with impunity. So some were inconvenienced for three weeks. So what? We’ve had to endure inconvenience and disruptions in streets and universities for a year and a half now.
