YOU SAID IT: Canada’s cartoon reality

Face facts. Corporal Donald Trump bears a striking resemblance to that big, arrogant rooster Foghorn Leghorn in the Looney Tunes cartoons. He is the alpha male among chicken cartoon characters.

But we are stuck with him next door for almost three more years. Lucky us (that’s sarcasm).

Canada and its prime minister need to do what other trading nations are starting to do — reduce contact with the U.S., find new trading partners, protect your borders and enhance national independence.

And … watch your back.

ANOTHER PATHETIC BRIBE

Re: PM Mark Carney reveals GST credit increase due to grocery costs, online, Jan. 26

Another pathetic bribe from the Liberals to buy votes from struggling Canadians. Some grocery prices are expected to rise sharply this year. The fact that Prime Minister Mark Carney christened it the “groceries and essentials benefit” is absolutely laughable.

I guess all the food banks can just close up shop now because Carney makes it sound like they are solving another problem the Liberals created in the first place.

Seems to me he is gearing up for yet another hoodwinking and gaslighting election campaign.

FLYING HIGH AGAIN?

Re: EDITORIAL: High-flying Carney must focus on home, online, Jan. 25

In 1981, rock ‘n’ roll icon Ozzy Osborne released Diary of a Madman with the hit single Flying High Again.

Fast forward 45 years and our current prime minister, Air Carney, seems determined to eclipse former PM Justin Jet Trudeau’s record of travel at the taxpayers’ expense to the four corners of the world and back again within his first year on the job! This comes as many Canadians scrounge for an evening meal of leftovers before considering going to a food bank.

In Carney’s own words, people will judge him at the grocery store.
