hello, wile e.
recently, i saw a city sign announcing that coyotes have been seen in the annex. it made me proud of toronto city hall. the sign simply explained what to do if a coyote approaches: clap, jump, wave arms. there was no fear-mongering or demonization of these creatures. and most moving was the final message: we can coexist safely with coyotes.

not my canada
so, the liberal government is now flooding our rural areas with newcomers, which raises the cost of housing. it has always been the case that canadians of modest means would sell their urban homes and then move to a less expensive rural market. now that is impossible. to make it worse, for me to leave for a cheaper country, the federal government takes money from the sale of my home – my home is not something i would make capital gains on, it is something that i have paid through the nose to acquire, then paid through the nose to keep with property taxes and maintenance, and any “profit” is no profit when i have to buy another home at inflated prices because of an unbalanced housing market. i am stuck – and afraid. this liberal government is the worst canadian government in history. they are turning canada into a colony for the globalists to pilfer. this is an evil, appalling betrayal. i’m glad my parents are not alive to see this.
