Letters April 29, 2024: 'Trump is being unfairly targeted with all these lawsuits.'
WITCH HUNT AGAINST TRUMP To find the closest thing I could to a comparison of the multiple cases facing Donald Trump, we must go back to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692-93, where 200 were accused and 19 executed. In 1711, most were pardoned. Yet, Elizabeth Johnson wasn’t fully exonerated in 2022! Ouch. Personally, I […]

Letters, April 28, 2024: 'Grits don't know meaning of the word'
Not what ‘budget’ means (Re: Tax and spend — Liberals hike capital gains tax, hit firms to pay for agenda, online, April 16.) To me, the word “budget” means spending within your means. This Liberal government has never done that and seems to go out of its way to drive Canada and Canadians deeper into […]

Letters, April 27, 2024: 'Tiny homes could be big help'
What’s the problem? Not sure why everyone is in a huff over blanket rezoning. If you live in a nice neighbourhood, and the median price is $750K, and your home is in nice condition, it is not financially viable to buy the home, tear it down, then build two infills or a townhome with four […]

Letters April 26, 2024: 'Trudeau's budget is driving small businesses away.'
Out-of-touch Trudeau The Trudeau government has repeatedly shown total ignorance to the difficulties of operating small businesses. This latest additional tax on capital gains only exacerbates their serious financial woes. Unlike those in government, doctors, farmers, fishermen, small business owners and all those who are self employed must do their own financial planning for their […]

Letters April 25, 2024: 'The way the federal budget is done is just criminal.'
Lock them up If I ran financial and fiduciary deficits in my personal and corporate life like Chrystia Freeland and Justin Trudeau do with our country, I’d be in jail. Mike King (It is criminal.) Who gets your vote? The SUN should conduct a poll to see which world leader is the most skilled. I […]

MARTIN: Court of public opinion notoriously unreliable
The problem with Doug Ford's comments, and similar ones often made in that so-called court of public opinion, is they fly in the face of the known facts

Letters April 24, 2024: 'Before voting to upzone, take into account all the factors.'
Don’t forget all the cars I live in a single-family dwelling area. A neighbour got tenants that did not have a care in the world, partying at all hours of the night, parking their vehicles anywhere they felt. They parked in front of my house because their landlord did not want them parking in front […]

FUSS and MUNRO: Canadians should decide what to do with their money — not politicians and bureaucrats
Since taking office in 2015, the Trudeau government has expanded the federal government’s role in making decisions for individuals and families, rather than letting Canadians decide on their own. And with its latest federal budget, which it tabled last week, it once again decided politicians and bureaucrats should determine what people want and need, rather […]

Letters April 23, 2024: 'The hatred in the world today is just beyond comprehension.'
Mad, mad world It’s not only dismaying, but baffling to see modern day fascism continuing to fill our streets with hate and evil. Professional, genocide-chanting social justice martyrs are gladly professing their support for terrorists who murder, rape and torture. It is beyond comprehension that people today can knowingly and deliberately choose to side with […]

Leong: What does 'protecting neighbourhood character' really mean?
Many concerns about Calgary's proposed blanket rezoning are as based not on facts but on some people's assumptions and feelings.

Letters for April 22, 2024: 'If Quebec wants out, allow us to hold the door for them.'
Go for it So Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon has pledged there will be another referendum on independence if his party takes power. Fill your boots. You want independence, then go for it. Remember this, though, the billions in yearly transfer payments stop. You can pick up your share of the debt when you […]

Letters, April 21, 2024: 'Be careful what you wish for'
Didn’t think it through My wife and I are not wealthy, we live off CPP and OAS. Hearing the NDP want to tax the rich, I thought, OK, Canada needs the money. Until I read reports including an insightful one from Bloomberg News. Past socialist governments in France initiated a wealth and capital gains tax. […]
