A Canadian “icon” golfs with an American “icon”!

There you have it, Sun commenters, our Great One golfing with their great one.

Wayne Gretzky is happy he left and is living in the U.S.A., where life for him is better than in Canada.

Face facts; he is no longer “Canadian.” He is a U.S. resident born in Canada.

Get over your iconic hero worship.

WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE?

Re: Algoma Steel to lay off 1,000 employees, blames Donald Trump’s tariffs, online, Dec. 1

One thousand steel workers laid off just before Christmas, hundreds of auto workers laid off, companies moving to the U.S.A., Canadian lumber mills shutting down and food banks across Canada on the brink of collapsing.

What’s it going to take for supporters of the Mark Carney Liberals to realize that it’s time for them to change their votes? Their country is crumbling right before their eyes and they just don’t care.

I don’t understand the Liberal/socialist way of thinking.

QUEBEC SHOULD ALLOW PARK PRAYER

EDITORIAL: Say a little prayer, but do it in private, editorial, online, Nov. 30

Although it is reasonable to prohibit prayers on roadways, sidewalks and access points to buildings and private property, there is no reason to prohibit prayers by small numbers in places such as parks.

If an individual or family happens to be in a park at a prescribed time for prayer, they should not be required to find an enclosed space. Of course, there should be limits on the numbers who can pray there.

On the few occasions when I have seen an individual praying in a public space, such as the edge of a forest, it has done me no harm. I am sure that Quebecers, even cabinet ministers, are equally resilient.
