How to commit national suicide
First, choose a weak leader for a centrist party (Weak leaders sinking Canada — Rick Hillier, April 10). As a child, this person was fed on left-leaning political philosophy and admiration for communist-leaning dictators. His only observable talent or ability is an innate understanding of how to retain power.
Next, provide him with a virtually unassailable majority with support from the NDP, then remain helpless for four more years as he implements policies that:
1. Kill Canada’s productivity (Sounding the alarm on productivity — Derek H. Burney, April 23).
2. Stain Canada’s international reputation by failing to act against growing antisemitism (It is unconscionable to glorify antisemitic violence — Michael Higgins, April 23); seemingly supporting terror (Why Hamas likes Canada — Michael Higgins, Dec. 22); honouring a war criminal (The farce heard around the world — Michael Higgins, Sept. 27); and declining to adequately fund Canada’s military to protect Canadian sovereignty and fulfil its international obligations (New Liberal defence plan in no particular hurry — John Ivison, April 9).
3. Overwhelm Canada’s welfare structure and housing capabilities with out-of-control immigration (Trudeau’s weird habit of denouncing his own government — Tristin Hopper, April 5; and Rapid rate of immigration is changing the face of Canada — Joseph Brean, Jan. 2).
4. Further impoverish Canada’s population with a radical climate change agenda that does next to nothing to reduce world carbon emissions (The politics of climate alarmism — Derek H. Burney, Oct. 3; A plan to kill the economy — Chris Sankey, Nov. 13).
5. Fail to balance or pursue a balancing of the country’s budget by continuous debt financing for his agenda, thereby saddling Canada’s future generations with an unsustainable national debt and a declining credit rating (Debt chaining down our future — Frank Stronach, April 23).
6. Fail to support the development of a clean, liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry as Canada’s best export opportunity, with declared willing customers such as Japan and Germany (The case for LNG exports — Gwyn Morgan, April 25).
7. Permit foreign entities favouring his government to meddle in our elections (PM’S top aide cites ‘obvious errors’ by intelligence agencies — Catherine Lévesque and Christopher Nardi, April 10) and minimize support for Israel (Liberals’ Israel support hollow — Michael Higgins, April 18) while renewing the sending of funds to a discredited UNRWA.
