TAKE CONTROL

All levels of government, businesses, whether they be health care or tomato picking, seem to be of one mindset. Hire foreign-trained workers, increase immigration be damned if we dont have adequate housing, medical services, this is what will be the cure all. A Band-Aid measure at best. Training should begin at home, at the early stages of education. Wasted on me was five years of forced French language instruction, streaming me into an academic system when I belonged in a technical one. Any trade, profession is a good one, but there seems to be a collective lack of effort to encourage, showcase, anything but a basic regurgitation of worn, outdated curriculum, nothing hands on. Time to take control of our own job resources, train those already living in Canada, put more people in careers that best suit them, and stop the madness that is being driven by those woken socialists that believe some deserve a free lunch while others toil to provide that meal.

YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE

Re Trudeau returns from vacation, ignores problems we face at airports (Brian Lilley, Aug. 15): Of course, our entitled PM skips all the airport crises he created with his ArriveCan duplication, testing, layoffs, and lockdowns. Who really believes he follows all the mandates he imposes on us? With homage to that old Tiny Tim shrill song Tip Toe Thru the Tulips With Me, he free-floats in his loafers past all of us peasants especially those who stupidly voted for his not-at-all-liberal party (and the complicit-by-support NDP). Now, sing along, Tip toe past Pearson, over Ottawa, with meeee To quote early American president Thomas Jefferson, The government you elect is the government you deserve. That goes for Canada too. Canadians are now living their choices.

TAX IMPACT

There is a lesson for our Liberal government in the Aug. 14 editorial regarding the U.S. rejection of a national carbon tax in favour of massive tax credits for green energy and increased support for off-shore drilling rights. Its probably too late, but I wish that Ministers Guilbeault and Wilkinson had shown a similar understanding of what is required to meet GHG emissions, as the U.S. has, before they became victims of the onerous anti-energy policies of the Liberal government and the ineffective carbon tax. The carbon tax will have zero impact on global GHG emissions, and as for relief for Canadian taxpayers, even the PBO disputes the purported rebate percentage to taxpayers of the carbon tax.

(Exactly it will have no impact other than in our pocket books. The Trudeau/NDP government dont care for anything other than a good talking point)

HEAL UP

If Ontario has a medical crisis, why are we still practicing reactionary medicine and not proactive preventative medicine. Early detection through annual check-ups by either a doctor or trained medical nurse/practitioner can substantially reduce hospital care and crowding. Do the math.

(The system is such a mess they probably dont even think this way)
