HUNGRY TO VOTE

Article content

Despite every sunny ways photo-op and announcement set up by the prime minister, any goodwill is completely and totally erased when voters go to the grocery store. Skyrocketing prices have become unbearable and will be the worst they’ve ever been this winter. There is not a single price in the store that has not been affected by the carbon taxes paid to bring these essential food products to Canadians.

It’s doubtful that our prime minister has ever stepped foot in a grocery store in the last year. Loving parents who are hungry because they have to skip eating so their children can have enough food will remember their hunger and the Liberal party that imposed it on them when they step into the voting booth.

SUCH PETTINESS

Re: Boycott backtrack; Downtown business backlash prompts PSAC to step down, Sept. 12

Imagine a union so petty that it would call for a boycott of businesses downtown just because members have to spend three days a week in the office. Businesses that have done nothing but be there for them when they wanted that coffee or lunch or that last-minute shopping.

These unions and their entitled members need to give their collective heads a shake. Oh, but wait, they learned from the best, didn’t they? A prime minister who is the master of pettiness, so I guess it all makes sense now.

MADE CANADA A TARGET

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has outdone himself. He announced that he fully supports the launching of long-range missiles deep into Russian territory. Russia has responded by saying that, if this happens, Russia will be officially at war with NATO.

This ludicrous act by the Liberal government will make Canada a legitimate target of retaliation by Russia and its allies, such as China.

WHO’S PAYING CARNEY?

If Mark Carney is an adviser to the Liberal party and not the Liberal government, then who is paying his salary?

It should be the Liberal party, not public money, since he has no oversight or ethics requirements.
