April 22: Welcome to the PRAM. Plus other letters to the editor GlobeDebate
Ontario Premier Doug Ford speaks to the press following the First Ministers' Meeting in Montreal late last year.Here in Ontario, we’ve got lots of great policy ideas you could pick up on, such as forcing gas stations to promote government propaganda, unilaterally slashing city councils , and telling groups that help people with autism that they’re in for four hard years if they refuse to back the government’s position .I know you’ll have ideas of your own.
Ironically, the higher gas prices that would result will hasten the B.C. public’s acceptance of alternative forms of energy, thereby accelerating the decline of a sunset industry.For someone with a sedentary job, raising the age for CPP and OAS to 67 might be valid, but not all workers have that kind of occupation .
I’m thinking of construction workers and farmers, just to mention a few. Their bodies may be more than worn out by 65, and suffer severe damage by having to work well beyond their “best by” date. I remember with concern a man who installed our kitchen flooring some years ago; his knees were in a sorry state, yet when the flooring needed repair, there he was, several years later , still at it, even while he was hardly able to get up off the floor. No doubt he and many others whose work is punishing physically will upon retirement need considerable medical care to be able to function at all if they have to work until 67 – or who knows, 70? – if accountants have their way.
A good many valiant Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of accountable government. The measures being proposed must be resisted with every means available. If Mr. Ford’s government believes litigation to be frivolous, he has means at his disposal to make his point. That will have to suffice.Tyler Cowen’s impassioned defence of Big Tech fails to get to the nub of the matter: The new social media were expertly manipulated by a foreign power to affect the 2016 U.S. election .
