Re: LILLEY: Mark Carney names Janice Charette Canada’s top trade negotiator, online, Feb. 16

Article content

I anticipate that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s pathetic choice for top trade negotiator for the upcoming USMCA review will be a total disaster. Janice Charette, another champion for the invocation of the Emergencies Act, among other things? Are you kidding me? Just look up her résumé.

She is just the kind of senior bureaucrat who rubs Donald Trump the wrong way. It’s almost as if Carney is purposely sabotaging the critical USMCA review so he can continue to blame Trump for the Liberals’ absolute incompetence.

Re: ‘They want Action’; Tory MP goes to D.C., putting his constituents before party politics. Liberals hate him for it, Feb. 17

Article content

The Liberals’ reaction to Jamil Jivani’s trip to Washington is indicative of how much they don’t want to work with the Conservatives.

It’s arrogant of them to think they, and they alone, are capable of dealing with the U.S., and we’ve seen how that’s been going. It also shows how hateful and petty they are. Graciousness is sorely lacking in that party. If you listen to how the Liberals talk about any Conservative, you will actually find they are describing themselves.

I applaud Jivani for stepping up and his willingness to help this incapable government get something done that will benefit us. As long as the Liberals continue with their Trump Derangement Syndrome, we will continue to lose jobs and food bank lines will continue to grow.

They refuse to accept that it’s their incompetence that’s hurting this country. You want your country back? Then stop listening to the Liberals and their taxpayer-funded mainstream media.

JT AND SOPHIE? I … DON’T … CARE

I don’t think I’m alone when I say this, but why in heck are we still bombarded with stories about Justin Trudeau and his ex, Sophie?

I don’t care that poor Sophie spent Valentine’s Day alone any more than I care that JT is with his new snuggle bunny, Katy Perry.

In more than 10 years, Canadians saw and read enough about this over-the-top, egotistical pair of self-indulgent abusers of taxpayer money to last a lifetime.
