Let’s have a break from politics

Re: “SUMMER: Hear no politics, see no politics, speak no politics ... please” (Cartoon, July 11)

Thanks, Aislin. I, too, have had enough of politics for now.

I am irritated to keep hearing about the mayor of Longueuil, who is irritated by having to listen to English. I am irritated by the Canadian government’s semi-election type ads regarding tax breaks they are giving to people whether they need them or not. Thankfully, the ad asking you to vote on whether or not you thought Stephen Harper was a good prime minister has disappeared from Facebook. It didn’t matter whether you voted for or against, it still put you through to the Conservative Party asking for a donation. Then there is the attack ad telling us that Justin Trudeau is just not ready! There should be a law against boring the public with such tripe.

We have enough going on right now what with Greece, ISIS, wild fires, murders, etc. Aislin is right — we do not need constant politics all summer as well. Elizabeth Dobson, Châteauguay
