For many years I have travelled to Mexico for the winter and proudly worn a Maple Leaf in my hat. This idiot we call a PM has taken all the dignity out of that and made me a laughingstock. What we have is worse than a dictatorship, when the entire country knows he is useless and WAY past his best-before date and we can’t get rid of him! There has to be a better democratic system.

Poilievre policy?
Pierre Poilievre makes a lot of noise telling Canadians that Canada is broken and it’s all Trudeau’s fault. He has yet to put forth anything substantial clearly outlining how he would do things differently. I dread to think how he would deal with the Trump presidency other than cater to Trump’s demands as they clearly align with Pierre’s own policies. Yes, Trudeau has to go but so must Mr. Singh. His agreement to support the Liberals is responsible for a great deal of Canada’s debt.

Driving lesson
I read Franco Terrazzano’s column “Trudeau drives through budget guardrail, sends finances off cliff” (Dec. 22) and found his research informative. However, I must admit I was puzzled by his closing statement, saying that “by driving through another budget guardrail, Trudeau has proven he’s lost control of the finances.” It seems to me it’s hard to lose control over something he never had control of in the first place.

Not so wonderful
Re: Kevin O’Leary says he wants to talk to Trump about a U.S.-Canada ‘economic union,’ online, Dec. 27. I’ve got news for part-time Canadian Kevin O’Leary, living in Miami Beach. Unlike Grand Funk Railroad’s song, O’Leary’s “not” Some kind of Wonderful, let alone Mr. Wonderful, and secondly, half of Canadians weren’t talking about combining the U.S. and Canada economies and erasing the border between Canada and the U.S. over the holidays. We just weren’t.
