Dear Editor:
The sloganeer is at it again. Only this time, instead of declaring Canada “broken”, he has become, along with his wife, the promoter of a new version of Canada, redeeming us all with the promise of nirvana.
But his policies are largely based on ignoring the jurisdictional rights of municipal and provincial governments, as well as that of our justice system.
As Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre continues to ignore the issue of climate change, has he given any thought to the future of his two young children that are his props at rallies? What will their world be like? More fires, floods, and catastrophic events? Smoky air to breathe?
Pierre’s slogan solution to the U.S. tariffs is a brisk, “Knock it off!” Very intimidating to the circling Trump sycophants who could possibly make a fortune on insider trading, since they are the only group with any idea of what he will do next.
It seems Poilievre is press shy. No reporters travel with him, and only four questions from carefully selected journalists are permitted at any of his rare scrums. Maybe the “emporer is wearing no clothes!” Slogans are no substitute for real communication.
Arlene Callaghan,
Fergus
