Letters, Sept. 13, 2024: ‘America’s in trouble’

Article content

After watching the Harris-Trump presidential debate, one can only conclude America is in a lot of trouble with either one of these two buffoons leading their nation. Harris has little substance and lacks any type of credible leadership and clearly maintains a far-left agenda even though she wanted to appear as a moderate. Trump seems to go off tangent with his wild thoughts about certain policies and clearly has an axe to grind about how the democrats have treated him over the years. He also maintains the rest of the world loves him and is afraid of him at the same time. Neither candidate was capable of answering questions from the moderators in a direct, coherent fashion. The debate was not a stellar performance by either candidate and Americans will have little to choose from come November and that bodes poorly for the rest of the world.

Ever-changing views

I hear so much about Kamala Harris and her ever-evolving views. In 2019 she was for banning plastic straws, against fracking, defunding police. Now that these views could result in an election loss, all of a sudden her views have “evolved.” Most people I know have opinions that remain pretty solid. Many politicians do what is necessary to win and their views be damned. People, don’t be fooled by the new evolving — they are just lies now!

Singh in tough spot

Article content

Support for NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has dropped to 15% and he either forces an election by supporting the Conservative no-confidence vote or try to win back support with pre-election rhetoric. Canadians are fed-up with failed Trudeau economic policies while angry at Singh, who’s watched them being taxed to death but still supports Trudeau’s 2024 budget of increased spending. They kept him in line by throwing him a bone — the Canadian Dental Plan – but at what cost to hurting Canadian families?
