Let the Shoe have his coup. They will mess it up beyond all recognition, and downtown will look like it’s from the movie ‘Escape from New York’

Sorry, but I don’t get it. Johnny Canuck brings his cheaper chicken, eggs, quart of milk and a 6 pack in to his home country, and he gets charged tarif?
Is this hurting Trump? No! Is it messing with Johnny Canuck? You bet.
So let’s punish our own people when they bring stuff in.

LETTER: Lower alcohol taxes would cost Canadians billions

Thanks for all the unsupported statistics. No one is supporting making alcohol more available. A reduced tax on alcohol will make the alcohol less worth shop lifting it, devalue it as a commodity and make it less of value.
Addicts will continue to abuse it. Some people will continue to drink too much, regardless of the price.
Bottom line, alcohol is a cash cow for government, and they won’t ever give up the $.

Bottom line, this guy and his shop are amazing! He is so accommodating, friendly and just a good guy. Hope whomever buys his shop is at least 1/2 the guy Mr. Bruni is!

Gee, sell the hospital property for $1. Gee, pay to get the Norgoma cut up. The city can’t give a break to put this wall in, especially since it was twigged by a complaint?

Let’s question the premise of duty free. You get less expensive alcohol as long as it leaves Canada. Why? How about selling the stuff to us Canadians without the through the nose taxes?
I feel bad for this enterprise, but it’s our government who is messing it up for us Canadians. I shudder to think about when Trump gets around to issuing tariffs on alcohol coming across hi border?

The election should not focus on Trump and his antics. The election must focus on electing a strong leader, capable of dealing with Trump. If a limp person is elected, Canada is doomed.
Look at previous pm’s. Pierre Trudeau’s handling of the FLQ crisis “Just watch me”, John Dief the Chief Diefenbaker, etc. we do not need a leader who will bow down to Trump.

We should have an election every two years. That way the incumbent person will wheel out the cash wagon every two years to give our money back to us. And they say buying votes is illegal. It worked for Ford’s $200 each.

Both Canada and the US fought the same enemies during 2 world wars, as well as numerous ‘lesser’ wars. They all died for the same cause, to keep both countries free. Let’s not sully their spirits.
