Decision raises doubts about our legal system Re: “Questionable ruling on Emergencies Act usage,” editorial, Feb. 18.
I appreciate the points made about the pusillanimous ruling by commissioner Justice Paul Rouleau. None of his conclusions do anything to instill any confidence in the opinion.
I find myself becoming ever more cynical that the truth of most subjects is over-ridden by political wokeness and expediency. Editorials like this one are confirmation for me that there is another point of view, but sadly it is not reflected in the headlines nor in the responses from government. Keep reminding us that federal reviews and inquiries require more scrutiny than they are normally given.Focus on rule of the law, not mismanagement Re: “Questionable ruling on Emergencies Act usage,” editorial, Feb. 18.
“Politicians” could not invent a procedure outside the current legislation. The alternative would be invoking the act earlier, not interfering with local police procedures. Disturbing the peace is a bylaw violation. Yet, it needed the armed forces to remove the tents, trucks and barbecue pit. The editorial seemed to totally forget that it was not just Ottawa involved in the so-called truckers protest last year.
From my perspective no different than the gang of thugs south of us who tried to occupy the U.S. Capitol. Actually it could be a good lesson for federal, provincial and municipal policing. This was minor, compared to the October crisis in Quebec, and possibly what is next to come. Once again, Trudeau walks away unscathed Re: “Use of Emergencies Act justified, might have been avoided: inquiry,” Feb. 18.
If Vladimir Putin comes calling on Canada’s Arctic, do we really want to have to rely on the kindness and charity of our allies to protect us?Canada’s defence needs adequate budgets I’ve been writing to various governments for more than 20 years on the “rusting out” of our nation’s capacity to defend itself.
While our current government “talks the talk,” they do not “walk the walk” with the voting public and with adequate budgets.Cyclists, take responsibility for your own safety Re: “A cyclist’s guide to staying alive out there,” John Ducker, Feb. 17.My wife and I have cycle toured all of B.C., much of Europe and into Turkey over the past 30 years. We have never had an accident involving a vehicle.Another point is to always use arm signals to inform other road users of your intentions.
Just 20 years later, Putin used military force to seize parts of Ukraine in blatant violation of this agreement. The international community’s tepid response has only further emboldened this bully.We need to think about demand for electricity Here we go again, another move to ban natural gas service to new buildings. This push is as poorly thought out as the massive push for all-electric cars by a given year.
What happens when climate change significantly reduces rainfall amounts well below the norm, as we have seen in the past few years, and this impacts hydroelectric generating capacity?“Hope” for those abandoned by health-care system I recently watched one of my favourites on the Knowledge Network: Hope for Wildlife.My hope is that Hope for Wildlife will open a clinic for those of us abandoned by our decaying health care system.
When will the people who pay all of the taxes that are going to vote getting and things that the responsible people spend on attention getting projects. The millions that are spent on running ambulances to all of the overdoses while avoiding the treatment that should be given to the recipients of the care cannot continue.More money wasted by Trudeau’s government Re: “Job creation a priority as Liberal caucus wraps,” Jan. 29.
