Trudeau is giving Canadians a break? By giving them their own tax dollars sideways. I’m going to take this cash, then I’m going to vote this fool out of office. A fool and our money is a sad statement for all people of Canada. His own party wants this fool who would be king in his own mind gone. But Canada needs to divorce this fool once and for all and ask him for country support to reclaim our wasted tax dollars. Merry Christmas

Critics paying

(Re: ‘Overpaying, under-delivering,’ letters, Dec. 10.) In the four years when the NDP under the leadership of Rachel Notley was the government of Alberta, they managed to politically weaponize the AHS. Anyone that had or has expressed constructive criticism against our health-care system has a remark on their health-care profile. You and I will always be at the very end of the triage queue. I do notice it every time I need a health-care service.

Postal service

In my travels, I notice a lot of mail strikers walking the streets. In my infinite wisdom, or delirium, I have come up with a temporary solution to two problems. Mail delivery and Trudeau’s gun confiscation from honest owners. While the strikers are walking the streets they can earn a bit of Christmas money by dropping off mail to homes and asking if the homeowner wants to give up his gun. Didn’t Trudeau want the post office to do that?

(Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of a strike?)

Tax troubles

I have a thought about the GST holiday that the Liberals are giving Canadians. From what I have read, the GST holiday will be applied across Canada for two months. The eastern provinces of Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, P.E.I., and Newfoundland all have a blended GST/HST, so that means they will get the whole amount of at least 13% off of purchases for two months, where the rest of Canada will only get 5% off. I think the Liberals thought this up knowing this part of Canada would benefit more from this GST holiday. Also, this area seems to be the area where the Liberals have lost a lot of support. Is this the Liberal way of bribing eastern Canadians to vote for the Liberals again? Is this a coincidence that the eastern part of the country is going to benefit more from this than the western part of Canada? I think the Liberals are so arrogant and sneaky they planned it this way.

(Presumably, the combined tax would make prices higher there than here. But provincial governments aren’t exactly happy with the move.)
