No one should be shocked to learn hospitals are full during flu season. Seems like every January this story comes out. What I don’t get is how people can stand paying more each year for less service. It’s what happens when more and more people take and put nothing in. This is how socialism fails. Ask Venezuela.
RYAN WALKER
(Universal health care is standard in half of the world, but the success varies. Maybe Canada should borrow strategies from some of the more successful examples.)
AUTHORITARIAN PUSH
Police-state tactics are clearly on display in Minneapolis. A mother of three was shot three times and killed by ICE in a horrific incident. It’s shocking that more ICE agents are being brought in to terrorize the community further and create chaos. Trump’s attempt to overthrow the 2020 election failed, but his re-election has given him government presidential power to steadily advance his authoritarian agenda.
BRIAN JOE IWANICKI
(The scenes from there are disturbing.)
NO SURPRISE
It is no surprise that Carney made deals with China. He already has personal investments in China with his old company Brookfield Asset Management.
CURTIS RADCLIFFE
(Alberta canola farmers are pretty happy about it, too.)
A PRIZE FOR THE WORDS
Having just read John Snobelen’s Jan. 10 column “Trump, America had no choice but to take over country,” I feel duty bound and obligated, being a Canadian, to nominate him for the Nobel Prize for Literature. I read that article three times and the more I read it the more I laughed. The column is so funny that those who read it will laugh themselves silly, unless they’re Liberals of course. Thank you, John Snobelen.
L. THOMAS
(Sometimes it takes some humour to make the point clearly.)
BACK IT UP
Re “Denmark stacks up better than Canada against the mighty U.S. military” (Robert Smol, Jan. 11): I do think that Canada, no matter how weak Smol paints us, should outright declare that we will do our best to have Greenland’s back and justify this declaration by pointing out that our neighbour to the south may not be our enemy but they are certainly not our friend and trusted partner any longer.
LORI CRANK
(Canada has its own strategic interest in ensuring Greenland is not a gateway for Russia and China.)
