‘Wacko’ works

Re: Poilievre expelled from House of Commons for calling Trudeau ‘wacko,’ ‘extremist’, online, April 30

Whether the Speaker of the House, Greg Fergus, likes it or not, Pierre Poilievre had it right when he said Trudeau is a wacko. To be honest, I think Poilievre was being very polite as I could come up with numerous not so generous monikers that would suit the PM.

Every policy this Liberal government has foisted on Canadians has been done to bankrupt them. The country is already slipping onto that perilous slope thanks to the outrageous spending by this government. Most of that hasn’t even been spent on Canadians or in Canada as it has been sent overseas despite our own suffering food insecurity, homelessness and not being able to access health care in a timely fashion.

That in itself justifies the label. Why is it that the PM can call Canadians racist or misogynists, and that’s all right? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, and if the PM can’t handle name calling directed at him then maybe he should keep his mouth shut and start acting appropriately in the House himself.

True colours

There are two reasons that I can see why the NDP keeps backing the Trudeau Liberals.  One is that there is no one in the NDP that has a backbone to stand up to Singh and tell him to quit supporting the Liberals.  The second reason is that, if you remember your basic color mixings, that to make orange, you mix red and  yellow to create the color orange.  Which goes to prove that these NDP’s are already a mix of Liberals and others.  Also, don’t forget, yellow has been the colour of cowards for years.

Guilbeault’s failing gambit

No Canadian should be surprised if a radical environmentalist is made Environment Minister then radical policies will result.  Having placed a cap on carbon emissions that is harming every Canadian costs and the economy, Steven Guilbeault now wants a cap on plastics. That would seriously raise already big costs of many food products. Guilbeault ignored the fact that while sacrificing Canada’s economy with his war on fossil fuels the biggest carbon emitters China and India are not participating. Now he is ignoring the biggest ocean polluters are located in Asia and have zero plan to participate in his radical plastic production cap. The sooner Guilbeault is gone from government the better.
