Concentrate on debt

Dear Editor:

An open letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney and Wellington-Halton Hills MP Michael Chong.

Fellow Canadians , I do not find it hard to imagine our beloved country as Donald Trump’s 51st state. We’d be under the longest shut-down in history! Our CPP and OAS payments would stop, our health care and social assistance would end. 

We’d be ruled by a 79-year-old who falls asleep at high level meetings with other world leaders in attendance. 

Our Trump-friendly leader has stooped low with an apology to Trump after Doug Ford hurt his feelings with a 1980s video citing the fact that tariffs would not work! I don’t find myself rallying behind Ford’s policies very often, but I will make an exception here. 

Canadians do not need Carney saying sorry to Trump for anything. 

Carney should concentrate all his time and effort to eliminating the $143-million per day we pay in interest on our huge national debt. 

Frank Yanchus,
Ennotville
