Letters, Sept. 29, 2024: ‘All I want for Christmas…’

Article content

With the million-dollar question asked in the four corners of this nation, the answer should be quite obvious. Hopefully, Canadians will be going to the polls long before St. Nick has a chance to come down the chimney on Christmas Eve 2024. And, yes, Virginia, there will be a new Canadian prime minister, going into New Year’s 2025.

DONALD K. MUNROE

(Quite the optimistic outlook you’ve got there.)

City’s all wet

Ricky Leong’s article on water usage is a sore spot. The city replaced a water line on 17th Street S.W. in mid-August and told us to run our water for 20 minutes after the water came back on. Two weeks later my water was still cloudy. On the day of Stage 4 water restrictions, the city came back and opened up the fire hydrant for two hours to flush the line. All the water went down the sewer. They could have redirected it to water a few trees in the area.

(Yep, seems like an opportunity lost.)

Defeat at all costs

Any politician or party that forms any deal with the Bloc separatists must be defeated. Never make a bargain with them. Voters in the next federal election must overwhelmingly elect a Conservative majority. I am talking 275 to 300 seats. The Liberals, NDP and the Bloc must be simultaneously targeted for defeat.

BOB DORCAS

(There is a real possibility the Bloc becomes the official opposition after the next election.)

Not buying the fear

Re: “Putting America first” (The Associated Press, Sept. 25): Hilarious, economists warn U.S. consumers will bear the costs of Trump’s proposed tariffs, yet Harris’s proposal to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% doesn’t receive the same negativity. They really think the public is that gullible!

BILL CHAPMAN

(Yes, they do. Anything Trump does is declared scary. They failed to mention the majority of the tariffs from the previous administration were kept in place by Biden and Harris.)
