It can be a field trip for university engineering students from across Canada to observe, experience and perhaps practise what they have learned on site about how NOT to build and run a mass mess (sic) transit system.<\/p>\n It\u2019s one of those \u201cteachable moments\u201d or an \u201ceducational opportunity.\u201d Heaven knows our LRT is not good for anything else.<\/p>\n DYAN CROSS THE FUTURE FOR FLOOR-CROSSERS<\/p>\n While there are apparently no rules against floor-crossers in our Parliament \u2014 something that should immediately be changed \u2014 our elitist prime minister is making this sneaky and underhanded method of increasing the number of Liberal members an art form.<\/p>\n Advertisement 3<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n We can only hope that, when the next election is called, the unscrupulous MPs who have crossed will be voted out by the people who originally voted them in, due to their duplicity, and Carney Man will yet fail and be denied his desired majority.<\/p>\n MEL ELLIES PILL INSTEAD OF POT?<\/p>\n For far too long now, Canadians have been supporting the BS from our government, which promises everything and does nothing but spend instead of actually working to get the wealth we have to market and actually help us and other countries.<\/p>\n If only there was a pill to smarten people up because legal marijuana doesn\u2019t seem to be working.<\/p>\n PETE MCLELLAN A CARNEY AUTOCRACY<\/p>\n There are new federal department guidelines that call for internal chat posts between bureaucrats to be deleted after 15 days and emails after 30. This will prevent information from being gained, down the road, through access to information requests.<\/p>\n Advertisement 4<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n This is not how any federal government should operate. It is elected to serve Canadians, not itself.<\/p>\n Mark Carney will likely gain a majority not by the voters, but through secret deals with four unethical MPs.<\/p>\n We no longer have an open democracy in Canada, but instead a Carney autocracy operating in complete secrecy.<\/p>\n LARRY COMEAU HAVE YOUR SAY<\/p>\n Your letters are welcome, at:\u00a0OttSun.Oped@sunmedia.ca<\/a>.\u00a0Include your first and last name\u00a0AND city\/town.
