Two million Canadians lining up at food banks, Canadians living in their vehicles and in tents all across the country, but it looks like we have been saved. Jagmeet Singh says he is going to eliminate the GST on diapers. I have a better idea, Mr. Singh: Go to your buddy Justin Trudeau and tell him to get rid of his useless carbon tax that has done nothing to reduce emissions. If the manufacturers and truckers who deliver diapers didn’t have to pay the carbon tax, diapers would be a third of the cost.

Stamp of disapproval
Here we go again with the CUPW going on strike during the busy Christmas period. The union may have found their niche. Shut things down, shout their bravado and wait until the government orders them back to work and get a union-friendly arbitration decision that gives them most of what they want. Canada Post is unable to afford these people as it is. The post office needs a new sustainable model.

Enough of ATM treatment
Re: The proposed city budget. A while ago it was said water bills would increase to $142 a month, with the add-ons more like $160. This to pay for the water main break. It would not have happened if past and present council had done their job and read the reports sent to them. I am sick of being treated like an ATM. I think it time for the people of Calgary to say enough is enough and start a tax and utilities revolt.

They get the job done
Like them or not, leaders like Donald Trump and Javier Milei, of Argentina, know what it takes to get a country on its feet. It means getting rid of wasteful spending and outrageously bloated government bureaucracy. It means stopping woke virtue signalling, political correctness and gaslighting. It also means calling out biased mainstream media.

Short-term gain, then pain
So, Trudeau is going to pause the GST on select goods and give us back some of our money. This is good news. Only wish it was longer than eight weeks with a permanent reduction in GST. This pause will cost the government $1.7 billion. Given that business taxes are passed on to consumers, the government has only one major revenue stream and that’s us taxpayers. So where do you think this $1.7-billion revenue loss is going to come from? You guessed it, all us taxpayers.
