GARBAGE BAG CREDITS, PLEASE

Re: Trash talk; Don’t fall afoul of Ottawa’s new garbage limits, Sept. 27

If I’m entitled to three items per pickup, then why can’t the city send me 78 tags to use as and when I please?

Most weeks, we put out our garbage bag along with our compost bin, and two full recycle bins. Some weeks, like after Christmas, maybe we would have four bags, but our city says we can only put out three, so we will be storing garbage in the garage for two weeks.

If we generate only one bag most weeks, why shouldn’t we be able to get a credit to use other weeks?

DEATH TO CANADA? REALLY?

Is Justin Trudeau giving out Canadian citizenship like flyers in a junk mail drop? Not only is our immigration system out of control, but Trudeau is giving out citizenships with inadequate screening.

Recent reports in the media of “hundreds” of people chanting, “Death to Canada,” tells me these are not people who cherish living in Canada. Most Canadians detest what the Liberals, including the NDP that keeps them in power, have done to wreck our country, but we are not taking to the streets and chanting, “Death to Canada.”

These are people who are now living in Canada and they still don’t see Canada as “their home country,” so why are they even here, Mr. Prime Minister?

TRUDEAU CONDONING HATEFUL RALLIES

Re: Cheering on terrorism; Chants of ‘death to Canada’ can’t be accepted at rallies, column, Oct. 9

Brian Lilley is 100 per cent bang on with this article. The Liberal government, by refusing to put the organization Samidoun on the banned terrorist list, is not only condoning, but aiding and abetting, these hateful rallies.

These people should be arrested for making deaths threats; those from elsewhere should be deported; those who have received their Canadian citizenship should have it revoked and then be deported back to their homelands.

This is Canada, but don’t kid yourself: we have become a shadow of our former selves under the Trudeau government.
