There’s a lot of things wrong with today’s world that are caused by us, or at least those who represent us. While we are focused on the adversarial behaviour of the dictator to the south, and bombarded by the daily news of wars and conflicts, the global phenomenon “climate change” continues and receives little attention. However, recent weather patterns are receiving attention for the damage caused. As the seasons change, it’s common to see temperature fluctuations and higher winds in a collision of the changing seasons. Nevertheless, it seems that these meteorological fluctuations have been more pronounced of late, which could be attributed to climate change. We should take notice and, more so, our kids and grandkids should be concerned. Old men are making war and shouting, ‘Drill baby drill,’ but they won’t be around when there is a 50C temperature change in a matter of hours.

LIBERAL SNAKE OIL

Re “Carney confirms Liberals won’t proceed with planned capital gains tax change” (The Canadian Press, March 21): There’s a carnival coming to town and the big top ringmaster is newly minted PM with no seat Mark Carney. If you believe the blarney, he’ll be wanting to sell you more Liberal snake oil, hoping you’ll swallow the idea it will cure all that ails this country after 10 years of Trudeau incompetence. He won’t be alone — he’ll have his circus of caucus clowns and mainstream media barkers highlighting the coming attractions guaranteed to raise your taxes and lower your standard of living. In every circus, there’s a fortune teller predicting “sunny ways” in your future. One can only bet they were drinking Carney’s snake oil!

(In the end, these are Liberal policies which have ruined so many aspects of this country which Carney is going to willfully carry on)
