A list of concerns

Dear Editor:

Canada requires a full investigation into China’s meddling in Canada’s affairs. So far there has been more politics than results.

If Fergus displays pride banners, why not include others such as the local First Nation? If everybody can not be celebrated, no one should be celebrated.

Much of what Premier Doug Ford enacts is concerning.

Why is the Bank of Canada trying to tighten the money supply while the federal government is spending like mad? Shouldn’t these two be on the same page?

When are people going to stop blaming COVID-19 for most economic woes? The fact that many entry-level jobs remain unfilled is because the pay does not provide anywhere near a living wage.

How can I keep rabbits out of my vegetable garden? Fencing costs more than the vegetables.

Has Premier Ford ever visited a farm or does he believe food is manufactured and sold in stores?

Where is the electricity going to come from if we all drive electric vehicles?

Able bodied people receive a pension at 65. Disabled people can receive a pension prior to age 65. Disabled people at 65 receive the same amount as the able bodied people. Disabled people remain disabled with its extra expenses yet they lose the disability pension at 65. Why?

Canada has an escalating rate of euthanasia, assisted suicide in addition to the pressure to expand medical assistance in dying (MAID) to youth and babies under one year old. This was not the intent of the act. This continues to be a slippery slope. Will this only stop when euthanasia meets eugenics?

Where is the open discussion about gender identity without rancour and/or accusations?

Pat and Chris Woode,
