You Said It: PM should practise what he preaches

DO AS HE SAYS, NOT AS HE DOES?

Elbow one MP in the stomach, grab another MP and march him across the legislature floor. Take an illegal vacation and bill taxpayers $200,000. Grope a reporter.

You Said It: PM should practise what he preaches Back to video

Laws, rules and regulations don’t apply to Mr. Justin (hypocrite) Trudeau.

His own policies about sexual assault only apply to other MPs in his caucus and the rest of us Canadians. His highness only dictates behaviour, doesn’t follow it himself.

Aren’t you glad, Canada, to have a virtue signalling, holier than thou, know better than everybody elected hypocrite for prime minister?

Nobody has done more to damage the reputation of the PMO’s office (and Canada) than our current prime minister. Sad, sad, sad.

Another year until an election when we the voters can end this mess. One-term prime minister. We can only hope and pray.

Ontario woke up to Liberal waste and hypocrisy. I pray the rest of Canada wakes up as well. I served overseas and I have, I hope, an open mind, but this nonsense that calls itself a government depresses me.

The silence from the rest of the Liberals over the groping incident is deafening. Liberal use of the word bully describing another world leader is quite prevalent lately. There is an old saying, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Clean up your own act before going after others. When you look down to judge people, you can’t see yourself. A good leader holds himself to what he expects of others. Just not in the Liberal party.

TONNES OF CARBON SENSE

Re: Ford-Trudeau Showdown: Cut pump prices or send cheques to families, July 6

Mark Cameron of Canadians for Clean Prosperity makes many carbon tonnes of good sense. Cap-and-trade reduces carbon emissions but carbon fee and dividend does it more simply. This policy has many virtues: It is considerably more transparent, it’s much less bureaucratic, it’s not vulnerable to manipulation and it doesn’t play favourites.

If the plan is also incremental, predictable and ongoing, businesses can incorporate these costs into their own plans. This would induce us all to decrease our own carbon pollution. We could prepare for a cleaner future by using and investing in our Canadian clean technology sector.

The carbon dividend prevents those of us at the lower end of the economic scale from falling off an “energy cliff.. As we become accustomed to our carbon bonus cheques, we’ll be happy that we’re reducing our carbon output.

It’s a race to see whether Doug Ford or Justin Trudeau can be the first to say, “It’s not a tax grab!” Ready, set, go!
