I never asked him if he still had it on him; I assumed he didn’t.

I feel sorry for government bodies such as cities and municipalities that have to deal with big corporations. Most would have a dozen sharp lawyers on the payroll with a sole purpose to flim-flam smaller communities. Whereas, maybe one ‘close to retirement,’ lawyer on the government payroll.

A family member was visiting in Canada and was asked … do you carry a gun? Yes was the answer, and then proceeded to say, I would forget my lunch before I would forget my gun.

If it’s any consolation to you, Premier Ford, you have, “like all the provinces’ Premiers,” a prestigious job. I voted for you to keep the plane.

I would like to see Canada go into Cuba and help straighten out their farming issues, and our dependence on the United States ’ off-season fresh food supply. It helps them with curancy issues,

I don’t drive much anymore because of the cost of gasoline; however, giving the small tax break in diesel fuel some thought, I would sooner donate my 10-cent discount to the truckers who have to increase their transportation cost for the food they deliver. I would donate my share to the farmers who will also have to “up their prices” for the food they grow because of diesel costs. The price of Diesel fuel has not dropped much despite the widespread implications it has on consumers. Does the tax on Gas make sense to you? Na. “” Could it be done better? “” I would think. Diesel equipment did not get any tax relief, and we will feel that tenfold.

me too

I came across a “Passport to Alberta” that was issued back in the 80s. Of course, it’s a novelty passport; however, it does show, like Quebec, the ongoing discontent in the provinces. And, I must say, it’s always brought on by the politicians for some reason. They are the root cause of disillusionment.

I always loved visiting the US, especially when we could cross the border freely. And then came the passports, which started a slight decline and a little more of a hassle, and then came Trump, who has a hate-on for Canada. That change pushed the friendship over the edge. Why would a Canadian deliberately put themselves through the humiliation, the fingerprinting and now the DNA test to cross that border?

I’m afraid all politicians went to the same school; however, I hope Canada’s Prime Minister is not doing a back-pedal on us. Especially when we were starting to trust someone in Ottawa.

As I commented about hands-on trades, I forgot to mention that if you live in Ontario, the Department of Transportation is looking for " road inspectors" (DOT). Their duties are to inspect unsafe vehicles on our highways. Now the ad was up only for a short time; however, ‘beat down their door and at least find out.’

Many years have gone by since I was in school, but even then, they wanted to and did do away with hands-on trades. My problem is, not everyone can be a stockbroker or a doctor. Today, many trades that are still functioning and will forever be, are still working. Hands-on. Would AI replace a plumber? na…I don’t think? However, I do feel sorry for those who are unemployed.

I am sad that our Prime Minister endorsed this illegal act by the US and Israel. What would happen when and if Canada decides to manufacture its own nukes for protection? International Law must be only a guideline that you can cross whenever the mood strikes you.

I have to wonder, last time I checked Canada is a sovereign country, why can trump dictate who we can help and who we can not. My opinion: we should help the Cuban People as much as we can and give the Trumpsters the middle finger salute.

International law is just a guideline,

I believe behind the scenes, it’s got the smell of Trump.

This does not surprise me at all because of this parallel. When researching Canada’s Avro Arrow, many articles came up mentioning how the US would wine and dine Canada’s military elites to convince them, and in turn convince the Prime Minister at the time to dump the Arrow. We all know what happened then. Political interference at its finest. We also know the reason was, hook, line and sinker, Canada’s dependency on the US for military equipment, and not mentioning one US Senator commented, We don’t need the compensation, “especially from Canada.” Alberta’s separatist movement had better think wisely.

As a young (white) person with a new driver’s license, I was pulled over all the time, and the cops always found a problem (according to them) So, I do not agree with profiling of any kind, especially racial profiling. But if you (cop) spot a car with lights out at night, tires that have no tread, "do your job and pull those people over for driving an unsafe vehicle on our highways.’ Who knows, you might find some real bad actors in the process. Police do not need more powers; just do the job you swore an oath to do. Catch real bad guys.
