DELIVERING BAD NEWS

Re: Days of the Post Office have come to an end, Jerry Agar column, Sept. 3

Had Canada Post been a private company and not a Crown corporation, it would have been dismantled and possibly rebuilt using a feasible business model.

But like every other Crown corporation, using the government as a backstop, it was far too slow in reacting to market changes.

Too late now, it has stopped breathing and even using a defibrillator won’t bring it back.

Sorry, Aunt Gladys, door-to-door mail delivery is coming to an end in its current form.

NICE TEETH, THOUGH

If someone points out Trudeau’s dismal record, he simply touts his so-called free dental and $10-a-day daycare as if that is what will save Canadians from the problems his policies have caused.

According to him, even if you’ll never be able to own a home, at least you’ll have good teeth. If your groceries are unaffordable, at least you’ll have nice teeth.

By the way, Justin, your free dental is not free. Our taxes pay for it. You have no credibility here and around the world. Time to go.

SINGH’S PENSION PLAN

People of Canada, look at Jagmeet Singh’s announcement of his destroying of his Liberal support. He claims all his decisions were to help us Canadians. Just how has this helped — he supported the carbon tax and supported the Liberals in everything they do. Dental assistance and prescription subsidies have been a dismal failure. He still holds the balance of power as he can determine when he will cause an election. Remember, if he delays the non-confidence for a year he will get his full pension. And they say they look after Canadians first.

GUN CRIMES

The reporting of an increase in gun-related crimes is obviously fake news. It must be because a couple of years ago, Justin Trudeau confiscated firearms in order to stop such crimes. Do you remember the big brouhaha and his insistence that was the answer? So it’s not possible that gun crimes have increased, right?
