Anti-business Liberals

Article content

“Why can’t we build anything in Canada?” Justin Trudeau and his Liberals were the most anti-business government that has ever existed in Canada. Laws are in place that ban anything that is not green. And Carney has done nothing to change any of it. But that is what Canadian voters seem to want? “You’re constantly chasing your tail,” said John Passalacqua, CEO of First Phosphate, a Quebec mining company that has millions of dollars in funding but no mine yet. “You can never fulfil the task, because by the time you’ve done what you had to do, it’s already changed, or it’s too late, or the market has changed on you.”

Canada Post woes

Liberals are losing $10 million a DAY at the Post Office. Employee relations are in the toilet and the postal workers are on strike. The poor service has earned the nickname “Snail-Mail.” I think we have a unanimous winner for the best-run operation of Mark Carney’s Liberal government. Congratulations, Mark!

Just getting started

Mayor Gondek has come out publicly and stated that she’s “just getting started” in regards to her first mandate as leader of Calgary. Really? She spent millions of dollars on useless things like her climate change initiative, bag bylaw, rezoning consultation with the public that amounted to absolutely nothing, and my personal favourite, her waste of millions of dollars to change our city’s logo. Before anyone votes for her they should ask themselves, if she’s “just getting started,” how much more money do they want to give her to waste on ideas she comes up with, so it seems, while she is looking out the window daydreaming?

Hammer and sickle

Re “Hate ‘symbols’ targeted” (The Canadian Press, Sept. 20): The Liberal government seeks further restrictions on the lives of Canadians with a move afoot to “make it a criminal offence to wilfully promote hate through the use of hate symbols.” The swastika and SS bolt are the symbols particularized. Justice Minister Sean Fraser’s failure to designate the hammer and sickle as a hate symbol is an outrage bearing in mind communism is a hate-based ideology which, during the 20th century, claimed the lives of an estimated hundred million people and even today continues its evil march circumscribing the lives of over a billion Chinese. Nevertheless, its inclusion is unlikely to find favour with the Liberals, a political party whose totalitarian susceptibilities are obvious but so far unopposed.
