Article contentTIRED OF POLITICAL GAMES

Doug Ford’s comment about Donald Trump that he’s tired of the bully trying to take our lunch money all the time is really a stupid thing to say.

First of all, Trump is taking more than just our so-called lunch money; in reality, he’s actually trying to take half our paycheques. And refusing to just put American alcohol back on the shelves is truly petty when the U.S. is and has always been our biggest trading partner. And Mark Carney trying to wait to see if Trump loses in the midterms is just plain stupid.

They are costing we taxpayers a fortune so they can play political games.

Get to the table and negotiate a deal to get our country and economy back on track. Enough with their childish political games.

TO SUBURBIA WITH THEM

Charles and Camilla abandon Buckingham Palace, 24 Sussex in Ottawa is a disgrace, and the White House is being hacked to pieces for an ego trip! All this waste and insanity on the backs of taxpayers. Suckers all!

Tell all these bigwigs to move to suburbia and live a normal life — and pay their own way.

THEY REALLY NEED TO INVESTIGATE IT?

The Republicans’ proposed bill to investigate so-called discriminatory treatment of American alcohol by Canadian provinces shows total ignorance. It’s Donald Trump’s damn tariffs that have forced our provinces to take such action against U.S. booze.

Remove the tariffs and maybe we will allow U.S. booze on our retail shelves again — it’s not rocket science.
