(Re: Outpouring of support for Gaudreaus continues.) Call it what you want, but using a 3,500-lb. weapon to kill innocent folks while intoxicated behind the wheel, in my world … it’s called murder. If there is a silver lining to this unimaginable tragedy, is the fact it happened in the U.S. and not here in Canada. Penalties from impaired driving causing death, could be between 20 years to life. In the U.S., such crimes are legally classified as vehicular homicide.

Grits’ fake outrage
What a joke with Justin Trudeau and Marc Miller’s fake outrage over the ISIS terror plot. Here is how it’s going to go: They’ll claim privacy concerns so we’ll never get to the bottom of it, the defence lawyer will get the accused off on a technicality, and for their hardship Trudeau will cut him a cheque for $10 million. On top of that, all the his family will get citizenship.

Immigration reform
The Liberal/NDP government is importing into Canada a Montreal’s worth of population of new people every year, mostly low-skilled migrants. It is laughable to suggest we are capable of building and staffing a new city the size of Montreal every year, not only with housing, but also employment, hospitals, schools, utilities, services, police. This needs to stop, now.

Defund the CBC
Re: “Even the CBC’s allies are outraged over wasteful bonuses” (Kris Sims, Aug. 25): A very informative column with some creative concepts on how those wasted funds could be better spent to assist Canadian families. We, the Canadian taxpayer, are giving the CBC $1.4 billion in funding this year alone, and 97.9% of TV-viewing Canadians choose not to watch CBC’s prime-time English language news program. It is interesting to note in the global broadcasting industry, a TV show with a low audience viewing rating of only 66% is heading for cancellation, and the CBC with 97.9% non-viewer rating is still being funded. Maybe the taxpayer should be given that right to determine where their hard-earned tax dollars go. If given the vote, I’m sure taxpaying Canadians would vote to defund the CBC, just like in a year from now Canadians will be voting to remove the Liberal Party and its sunny ways leader. No bonuses here, folks.
