ZIP IT TRUDEAUSo, in the past few days Parliaments own Wiarton Willie, aka Justin Trudeau, poked out his head from his hiding hole to lecture us on how disgusted Canadians are with the truckers convoy that is paralyzing downtown Ottawa. If anyone should understand how disgusted Canadians are it would be our intrepid PM, whose track record includes Blackface, the Kokanee Grope, the SNC-Lavalin affair, etc. In another display of nation-building, the PM has refused to meet with the convoy protesters and prefers to label many of them as misogynistic and racist. It also seems that the PM and his leftists are suddenly the new arbiters of proper etiquette when it comes to protests. While some in Ottawa desecrated a statue by placing a baseball cap and hanging a flag and a sign on it, it would appear they have much to learn from the leftists/progressives who much prefer to pour paint over statues or pull them to the ground and remove the head (e.g. Sir John A. Macdonald). Or, better still, how about burning down churches in various parts of the country? When it comes to anything involving ethics or morals, I just wish the most divisive and most destructive PM this country has ever had would just be quiet!

CHURCH OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESSIts time our country reimagined its separation of church and state. Political correctness has become the new religion with its own commandments, one of which is critical race theory. This dogma is being imposed in our supposedly public, secular schools at the expense of the Three Rs. Why not establish a Church of Political Correctness where you and your family would be free to attend or not. You could then drill down as deep as you want and even evangelize for converts. This would free up our public schools and teachers to fulfill their original purpose, that of actually educating our kids.

TOUGHEN UPOnce again Jerry Agar hits the nail right on the head! (Close calls on the road thanks to bad drivers, Jan. 18) It is was too easy to get a drivers licence. Pretty much all you need to be able to do is breathe and thats just barely a requirement. The number of really bad drivers is probably close to triple the number of adequate drivers. And whats up with this driving all the way to the end on the on-ramp before merging into traffic? The lane is down to three-feet wide and now you think people should let you in? You had your chance and you blew it! As far as Im concerned, driving is a privilege, not a right. Some people just dont have what it takes to drive well and I think they just shouldnt be allowed to. Either that, or once a month they should just have a no-rules free-for-all on the highways. Let the morons fight it out to the death. Its a Darwin thing. Cmon, government, do the right thing just this once. Make it much more difficult to get a licence. Make it so that you actually have to know the rules and be able to drive very well before youre let loose on the streets. Just think, the next fatality just might be your own and you could have prevented it.
