Why are clothes from the thrift stores taxed? These clothes were already taxed when bought new, so they are being taxed twice.

Justin Trudeau should at least let poorer people buy used clothing without being greedy and squeezing more tax out of us. We are on his side, after all, and are saving the planet further damage from the manufacturing of new items.

So give us a break and stop double-dipping.

TIME TO SHUT IT

It is a long-standing debate principle that one criticizes the other person’s ideas, not the person. I’m going to make an exception, which I think and hope mirrors the sentiments of most Canadians.

It is time for that overblown, orange-haired president-elect who thinks he’s the premier of Canada’s 11th province to shut up and keep his inane, nonsensical and unwelcome opinions to himself.

Only someone with his overinflated ego and sense of self entitlement would presume to comment on and interfere with the domestic affairs of another sovereign nation. Funny how that is a category our own woke prime minister fits into with his equally unwelcome recent comments on Kamala Harris’s election loss.

A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE

So the Liberal flagship SOS Clueless is listing so badly in the polls that two crew members decided to resign within 24 hours of each other?

Most Canadians will remember this as a Christmas miracle! We all just wish it were December 2015. Imagine how many billions of our tax dollars could have been saved from Captain Justin Squander and the rest of the woke pirates aboard his rudderless and reckless nine-year voyage to oblivion.

WHO’S THE SHERIFF OF TARIFFS?

How about a political heavyweight slugfest? Who will be sheriff of the tariffs? Who will bring order to the border? In the bright orange trunks, fighting out of Mar-a-Lago, U.S.A., “Donald The Chump Trump.” His opponent, in the Conservative blue trunks, fighting out of Ontario, Canada, “Doug The Thug.” Tonight on Fox!
