THIRTY AND ‘THANKING’ LIBERAL VOTERS

As a 30-year-old who has a decent job and a fiancée who is currently in university, I want to say thank you to everyone who voted to keep the Liberals in government.

Thank you for absolutely destroying my generation and the next generation’s future dreams of home ownership. You chose to allow this reckless government to continue to spend at unsustainable rates, and, with the deficit about to increase even more, those dreams will only get more and more unattainable.

It really sucks to work for a major home builder in Canada and I can’t even think of buying one of the cheapest condos we build while still having to afford groceries, gas, etc.

And, before anyone says the Liberals are going to start all these big projects, I’ll believe it once they can get past all their own red tape to green light these projects.

And maybe, while they’re at it, they can make it so we as civilians can protect our own families without worrying about being charged for protecting the ones we love.

‘BUY ONTARIO’ WRONG MOVE

‘Buy Ontario’ legislation to protect businesses and jobs, Ford government says, online, Nov. 20

The Ontario government is introducing “Buy Ontario” legislation. Before, it was “shop Canadian” and then in between we also had “shop local” or “buy local.” Where are we going? I am sure we are going in the “wrong direction” in this climate of trade barriers.

Already shop Canadian is fading; it was a feel-good moment when it came in, but we knew it was not possible. What would Ontario do if others were to do the same?

The federal government is trying to remove trade barriers and Ontario is bringing a new headache to rest of the country if they go through with this.

EXTREMELY LOW

As a Canadian who has family that went to war to defend our country, I find it extremely low to even consider banning poppies in courtrooms, What message are we relaying to our veterans? The poppy has always been worn as a sign of respect and in honour of our veterans.
