Taxing the Economy

On “Unlike Canada, US rejects carbon tax to meet climate goals” (Lorrie Goldstein, 15 August): Neither Biden nor Trudeau We are no closer to meeting our promise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the very least, the hundreds of billions of dollars the Democrats are allocating on climate change could help stimulate the American economy. Carbon taxes introduced by liberals help stifle our economy. The end result is billions of dollars wasted by both governments with minimal profits.

All praying and thanking God in professional sports is a mockery of religion. Yes, and should be stopped. The parable of David and Goliath is about God helping the oppressed overthrow the oppressor. God does not decide who wins the world pachinko championship. The spectacle of billionaire jocks praying to God so they can well entertain their fans is just plain wrong. Given all of mankind's current problems, I hope deciding who wins the World Series isn't on God's to-do list.

The sudden truth

"Trudeau , had no interest in doing business with Freedom Convoy.” (Brian Lilley, Aug. 13): It is very convenient that you are telling the truth about Freedom Convoy now. I don't remember the support during the escort.

Many articles on gun control Appearedrecently in the Toronto Sun. Here's my 2 bit value. Reliable data show that most gun violence in Canada is perpetrated by criminals with handguns smuggled into Canada. The CBSA and police do a great job of minimizing gun smuggling, as they do drug smuggling, but they can't completely prevent gun smuggling. The federal response to gun violence in Canada is a legal gun owner who has undergone rigorous training and has been vetted by the RCMP through phone conversations with acquaintances and spouses of owner and license applicants. It is intended for And banning firearms that are not the choice of criminals, and in some cases, banning firearms that have been banned for years, makes no sense when it comes to curbing gun violence in the streets. Our federal government seems to ignore street violence. why is this The federal government is covertly crafting nefarious plans to disarm the populace, and may be using street violence to support such plans.

Biden is confused… again

on "checkmate" ( Letter to the Editor, August 15): This writer is confused.Biden did not condone Pelosi's trip to Taiwan...he said it on liberal television and the media. Then he went off on a whim, saying, "What harm can it do?" This is an example of President Biden. I am confused and have no clue.
