‘Static overwhelming’

Dear Editor:

Like many Canadians, I’m listening for the truth. But all the static is overwhelming.

Blank cheque statements like “Bring it home” just confuse me. I don’t  know what “it” is.

“Axe the tax” is even more problematic. Don’t we have a system that enables us to share the responsibility for maintaining our national  infrastructure? How else would it be paid for?

Where, may I ask, is some policy plan that I can evaluate?

Am I hearing an echo of “Let’s make America great again”? A slogan  used by an ersatz presidential candidate south of us.

I will keep on listening and hoping.

Arlene Callaghan,
