Buck stops with PM

Re: Crossing The Line; No Safe Spaces Left For Canadian Jews — Danielle Kubes, March 9; and Why Canadians are angry is no mystery — Michael Higgins, March 9

I have lived in this country for almost 60 years. I know the difference between right and wrong, chaos and order, fact and fiction, lip service and action. Does Justin Trudeau, or those who carry out his orders, know?

Since when is disturbing the peace, screaming on blow horns calling for the annihilati­on of the state of Israel, charging across protest lines to grab Israeli flags from peaceful supporters and then burning the flags, considered legal? Not to mention that this protest was taking place in a residentia­l area in front of a place of worship.

Since when is it OK to protest in front of hospitals and block access to them?

Justin Trudeau, where is the justice, the protection for the innocent?

The buck stops with you, Trudeau. You are supposed to be the leader of this country, yet you have allowed anarchy and chaos to rule instead of the law. You have set the precedent for these outrageous, unlawful and harmful acts of hate, normalizin­g it in the view of many of our citizens.

Now, let’s address the homelessne­ss and the hunger in our communitie­s and country. Why, Mr. Prime Minister, are you bringing in more refugees when Canada cannot properly take care of its own? Shouldn’t we be using our tax dollars to help the Canadian citizens who are living on the streets and in tents, families that are having a hard time paying their bills and feeding their children?

What about the increase in car thefts, robberies and crime in general?

We need to turn this country around. Stop the excessive hate. Stop the excessive poverty. Stop the excessive crime. Set clear boundaries as to what is right and wrong through action, not just words.

Trudeau, your inaction makes you complicit in these crimes and in the neglect of our most vulnerable citizens. Take control and be a leader. Please start to care more about this country than your own political agenda.

A concerned Canadian citizen.
