YOU SAID IT: They denounce it, but do nothing

THEY DENOUNCE IT, BUT DO NOTHING

Well, it’s not like the majority of Canadians haven’t implored the government and all those in authority to do something about their so-called fellow citizens who support Hamas and antisemitism.

This disgusting treatment of Canadian Jews is beyond the pale, but perfectly exemplifies our weak-kneed leaders, who will verbally denounce the defacing of the National Holocaust Monument, but will then do nothing about it.

The police are also guilty of inaction, possibly due to the chain of command, but ultimately we have all collectively let down our fellow countrymen who have earned the right to be protected from these terrorists.

HERE COMES THE GARBAGE AGAIN

Regarding Ottawa identifying a waste-to-energy incinerator as one of the best options for its garbage, what goes around comes around and here we are back again.

Article content

A few decades back, Rod Bryden, founder of the energy conversion company Plasco, tried to convince Ottawa councillors that the technology and test facility at Ottawa’s Trail Road landfill was a viable investment in the future. No buy-in. Of course not, this is Ottawa. We trash worthwhile projects and fund woke works.

Now, later, at greater cost, we will try again to get our garbage to work for us. If only councillors could do the same.

SHOULD ALL WATCH THE VIDEO

Re: Greta Thunberg deported from Israel, eight activists refuse, online, June 10

Not only did Israel stop the Greta Thunberg flotilla, the detained activists were reportedly ordered to watch video of the Oct. 7 massacre by Hamas of innocent Israelis, many of them children. That is what all those supporting Hamas here in Canada should also be made to do.

It seems the political left’s Thunberg, who previously was the face of its climate change agenda, will lend herself to any of its radical causes. In Canada, the pro-Hamas protesters have actually been emboldened by the Liberal government’s lack of action.
