OPINION: Poilievre shouldn't bag on Trudeau for rising grocery costs

Thank you Mr. Bursztyn for a very accurate, informative, well written, comprehensive article. I'm no fan of Trudeau. In 60+ years of voting I have never voted Liberal. I supported the PC party and campaigns financially and did some door knocking. Poilievre is the first Conservative candidate I could never support or vote for. I don't care about the tiny cost of the carbon tax but one of his excuses for "axeing" it is to eliminate costs like the new dental plan (one of the most valuable Liberal programs ever).

I agree with Longtime. In 60 years of voting, I have never voted Liberal in any election I supported and knocked on doors for PC candidates but PP is so disgusting I may have to vote Liberal.

"WE" don't need an election. Fotd does only to sxtend his power.

It's not the USA that wants to control Canada. It's the wannabe thieving dictator. Trump wants to steal Canada, Mexico, Mexico, Panama, Greenland then I expect him to try to enslave the rest of Central and South America on his way to dictator of the world.

PP boy lost all credibility long before he was even aware of the ring of fire. As a lifetime Conservative voter and supporter I may have to vote Liberal until PP is gone from the leadership.

I'm a lifetime Conservative but, I never liked Trudeau but PP will never get my vote. I was embarrassed when he stood in Ottawa to support what started as a convoy of trucker's opposed to covid vaccine after it was taken over by anarchists opposed to any government rules or regulations in our society.

Sad for them to lose someone who's done so much good for North Bay's citizens for so many years. He'll be hard to replace.

When my Dad died in 1985, the funeral director told us thieves read obituaries. He said to have a trusted person stay in the home during the service to prevent burglary. 3 vehicles pulled in the rural driveway while we were away. Apparently today's thieves haven't grown a conscience.

Nobody could respect Musk but that's not the fault of the Car's owner.

If you watch US news , Trump makes it clear by repeatedly saying he wants to annex Canada. He says he will destroy the Canadian economy s we have to become a state.

After supporting PCs for 5 decades Poilievre has convinced met to vote Liberal for the first time in my life and, not just for being anti local Gov't. As a beneficiary of the new dental plan for seniors, his promise to axe it if he gets the power to do so convinced me that he's not on my side. What other well earned benefits for seniors will he destroy? I don't like Trudeau but consider that devil I know far better than the devil I fear.

I lost all respect for Musk when he said the world's best scuba divers rescuing boys trapped in a Thailand cave would only risk their lives for boys if they were all pedophiles. One died but all 9 boys were saved.)

Canadians are very fortunate that these harmless, life saving vaccines are so available at no personal cost. In the US and many other countries, uninsured people must pay or risk failing to receive these important vaccines that have saved thousands of lives.

Despite what some polls show, I wonder if it's her or the leader that's pulling the party down.

More inflation in US. Some believe Trump's lie that China pays tariffs. NO!!! Tariffs are a tax consumers pay on imported goods. They cause inflation. Popular until the 1930s when they played a large part in causing the great depression. Making goods more expensive in US can reduce imports to hurt other countries but it will also reduces American's buying power.

The multiple boards have always been a ridiculous waste. I sure hope they an consolidate ,but, I do fear they will be reluctant to give up their little empires.

I'm in no hurry to start paying. Many Americans still believe Trump's lie that Canadians will pay his tariffs. No country ever paid a tariff to another country. That Trump tax is an import tax that will be passed on to American consumers at the cash register. His hope is that higher prices will hurt Canada's economy by causing people to buy less imports. Trudeau is threatening tariffs to make us buy less imports. Ford also threatens to increase price States pay for our Electricity.

@gollum: The "freedom convoy" started because a few cross border truckers didn't want covid vax. In my opinion when they arrived in Ottawa they had made their point, then many anarchists and malcontents hijacked it. Many apparently opposed all Government and the rule of law.

As a former landlord who chooses to leave good properties vacant I've argued for years that hearings must be prompt and rent should be deposited with the LTB monthly until resolved then given to the landlord or refunded to the tenant after the hearing.

I have no doubt they need the best. Electronics are changing fast but, who was responsible 10 years ago for buying an obsolete system with only 10 year life expectancy?
