fuel for thought
don’t the republican politicians realize what iran is doing? iran is purposely continuing to block oil tankers in the strait of hormuz and it is driving up oil prices. the midterm u.s. elections are coming up, and without a resolution of this conflict, americans will become increasingly upset with donald trump. in effect, iran is interfering with u.s. politics with the hope of him losing the midterm.

(will iran still be standing by the midterms?)

what is mark carney thinking, considering jagmeet singh for the destination canada job? (“‘insult’ to tourism,” bryan passifiume, july 31) is this his reward for selling out our country to protect his pension under these liberals? it just keeps getting worse for our country. keep us in power and we will reward you — even though you have no experience in this job. hopefully, in the next election, people will finally wake up and vote them out before there is nothing left of this great country that we once had.

(surely, a just reward for propping up the liberals under justin trudeau)
tour de farce
under no circumstances should jagmeet singh ever be appointed to lead the crown corporation destination canada. regardless of the fact that he has zero tourism experience, he is a proven financial tax grifter who remained as an ndp mp only long enough to secure his cpp. there is more: mismanaging his party reduced its standing to a new low, and through his supply and confidence agreement allowed justin trudeau and his incompetent liberals to destroy canada beyond recognition. how sad.
