Letters, Sept. 20, 2024: ‘Canada quickly entering third-world territory’

Article content

It sickens me to hear the Bloc Quebecois, who have little or no interest in Canada as a country, except as a major funding source for their republic, are willing to step into the shoes vacated (yet to be tested) by sellout Singh. Canada as a whole cannot afford this current corrupt government to remain, as we are well on the way to being a third-world country. Maybe separation is not such a bad idea. Screw the east!

Road to ruin

Re: Road construction in Calgary. Do you notice as I do that when you are travelling by a large road construction or modification in Calgary, little is happening day or night. Large companies bid on this work with the City and get outrageous amounts to do them. They then stretch the projects way out by doing very little inconveniencing drivers for months and sometimes years. If they actually got after them most could be done in 1/10 the time but then they couldn’t charge the big money they do now.

Lack of information

I can still remember as an elementary school student the daily update on the Cuban crisis. As children, we were made aware of the dangers of nuclear war, and JFK, the American president at the time, spent hours stating his position and reassuring the public as best he could. Juxtapose that response with the current situation that positions the U.S.A. and NATO countries with a likelihood of all-out war with Russia. Compare the responses of today’s leaders. President Biden remains on the beach in his hometown and hasn’t made any statement on the threat of war. His vice-president seems oblivious to the threat in an attempt to avoid public scrutiny. To make matters worse, Canada’s leader has said he supports Ukraine’s plans to fire missiles into Russian territory which is the potential trigger for the possibility of World War III. What are today’s elementary school students to do to cope with the threat of Armageddon?

(Transparency is not any government’s strong suit and the public deserves to understand the consequences of these so-called leaders’ decisions on our behalf)
