Not so proud to be Canadian
Article content
Canadians are reeling because of rising costs on everything in their lives. They’ve become just cash cows taxed to death by politicians who vote themselves pay raises and executives who receive bonuses after employee layoffs. They feel no guilt squeezing us for every dime while taking care of themselves financially. It’s hard to be a proud Canadian due to our government’s loss of respect and worldwide political failures while many Canadians look downtrodden like those living in a third-world country.

No empathy
With each day that passes, I am more convinced Prime Minister Justin Trudeau simply does not care about the people of Canada. His smug arrogance shows in every word, every smirk and every policy move. Every extra dollar spent on fuel, home heating and food for everyday families rest on his shoulders alone. No one with any empathy would do this to the population of the country they lead with the exception of the many soulless dictators of the past and present.

Spending problems
Re “Get priorities right” (Brian Lilley, April 3): Brian Lilley has correctly defined this issue. This federal government is interfering in provincial affairs by spending Canadian taxpayer money to solve a problem. But the feds are aggravating the problem. Justin Trudeau’s government is desperately looking for a response to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s suggestion to create incentives and disincentives for gate-keeper municipal bureaucrats with existing federal funds. Trudeau wants to pour on more Canadian taxpayer cash because that’s all he knows. When you are a hammer, every problem is a nail. But this plan is like bringing out a bigger bucket when all he needs to do is turn off the tap.
