BREAKING: Justin Trudeau announces he will resign after Liberal leadership race

95

What a wicked population we have become. The level of hatred towards a prime minister is an indication of a population that demands its choice every time. Dislike the person? Fine. Disrespect and personal attacks to this extent reveals we have lost a lot of grace and self respect as a country.

Trump wins back the White House in historic fashion

109

I don't quite understand Canadians who are pro-Trump. Get ready for 10% tarrifs across the board and US protectionalism. Like him or loathe him, he is far from a friend of Canada. It's going to be an even tougher 4 years for what's coming.

$3billion is a lot of doctors and would have a much bigger impact on my vote. Family doctor or $200? Hmmmmm

Back to the polls: Prime Minister Carney expected to call federal election Sunday

Or maybe PP only criticizes and has shown no ability to lead a country with no experience other than being a politician?

Mark Carney’s first budget projects $78B deficit, program and civil service cuts

64

The accumulating debt is going to be a bigger and bigger problem. We had all sacrificed to get it down to $600 billion and finally, we were being smart. The comment “we are the envy of the G7” is like saying “we are the envy of the neighbourhood” with a massive home and expensive cars that we can’t afford and are maintained by a house of cards interest structure. Step one? Make it a law not one dollar can be given as foreign aid can be given when in a deficit position. For a guy who supposedly is a master of economics and finance, this budget is another step to handcuffing our children’s futures.

All remaining farmland should be protected under non development laws. We are the dumbest species despite our place top of the food chain. Our politicians focus on now with little regard to the future.

Terri Harrison.....do you have any data or facts to back up your opinion because the existing data says otherwise? Most Canadians are comfortable with our ties to the monarchy.

'Disheartening': Retailers in Orillia facing bold, frequent thefts

When millions of foreign criminals flock to Canada to rip it and its people off, you know it’s a failed justice system. It has become a shockingly weak pier of Canadian democracy.

BREAKING: 'Hockey Night in Canada' won't return to CBC this fall

33

In my opinion, the CBC is garbage now. Gone are the golden days of the Beachcombers, Tommy Hunter, Hockey Night in Canada. It oozed Canadiana. It reflected the vast majority of Canadians. Now? It tries to appease everyone and ends up disappointing many. I would keep CBC radio but the TV version is a deep money pit of a once great medium whose time is over. Put that dough towards our seniors or just don’t borrow more to prop up that sad excuse of Canadian programming.

Unlike PP, Jagmeet has a career that pays far more then being in government. This is a red herring and is basically false.

Not so easy to say that, I’m voting against another doubling of the debt. That’s my issue that means the most and the Conservatives are much more likely to manage the money better.

Suitors line up with offers for Orillia's Champlain Monument

Only in Mariposa could something revered for so long could be undermined by some curious and dubious reasons. Then what? On to the next piece of society that is now judged offensive by some? Imagine how hard people worked together to get and erect the statue only to have people almost a hundred years after reinterpret both the art and the history.

COLUMN: Mayor's move has rendered statue 'unbearably toxic'

One issue is the idea of Rama getting veto power over happenings in Orillia. Can you imagine if Orillia starting telling Rama or other First Nations what to do moving forward? That is not reconciliation. Respectful dialogue for sure but for goodness sakes, the figures on the statute were Ouendat, not Annishinabe. What does the remaining Wendake nation feel about it? They did send a large contigent to help honour Champlain's death. If the Ouendat feel that the statue should remain, that should hold the greatest weight. If they have decided they no longer support it, that's a strong reason to remove it. It's them on the statue, afterall. And I haven't heard their voices one time during the entire process. How does one First Nation have the ability to help erase the history of another?
