We just keep digging
Canada’s sovereign debt is over a trillion dollars. PM Trudeau has inflated the currency supply which has weakened the purchasing power of the dollar. Canada is heading over a fiscal cliff to ruin. Canadians don’t seem to understand, or they just don’t care about the severity of the impending financial crisis. And when the crisis hits, government will have no recourse but to increase taxes and to cut expenditures on social programs. What’s frightening is Canadians will probably elect the same dimwits that got the nation into this mess in the first place. No one wants to swallow the bitter pill.

There can be hope, can’t there?
A crass ploy
Seemingly the current Liberal budget has a rather nefarious two-fold purpose. Firstly it is a blatant attempt to buy votes, at the cost of beleaguered taxpayers. How disgusting is that? Even more reprehensible is how the Trudeau budget is designed to create a near-impossible situation for the next federal government, which will not be Liberal. Trudeau, Freeland and their collection of spineless and compliant MPs are perfectly willing to undermine the Canadian economy in a pathetic attempt to buy votes and greatly burden the next federal government.

The only fix is to toss the Liberals from office at the earliest possible chance. But the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh won’t let that happen.
Picking sides
It seems that “political” blood was much thicker than water in the House of Commons on April 30. The Speaker of the House, Greg Fergus, really shot himself in his foot by siding with the federal Liberal government, thus ejecting Pierre Poilievre during Question Period. So much for being unbiased. Therefore, the only honourable thing left for Greg Fergus to do, is to gracefully step aside from his duties as House Leader.

You think they would choose someone better to replace him?
Fergus went overboard
Greg Fergus, do you not think you went overboard when you told GC Strategies partner Kristian Firth to answer questions in Parliament? Now if you can only act the same way with Trudeau and the Liberals — force them to answer questions — instead of preaching to the masses.
Albert O’Connell
Politicians have never been open and honest in Question Period.
