We found a post in your May 21st edition very troubling. The one on page 8 with the Canadian flag and the information highlighting the peoples personal address. The poster of the add saying disrespect. If that were their intention, Canada still has freedom of thought and speech.

It is unfortunate that the publisher of this article is ignorant to the true facts. Flying a flag upside down is an internationally recognized symbol of a county in distress. Absolutely nothing to do with disrespecting a person’s country or the people of the country’s flag.

Canada, our country, in our opinion is in distress!

The Minister of Finance has admitted the government has lost track of our national debt. Saying only that it is heading toward a trillion dollars.

Our Prime Mister has pending criminal charges.

The national stockpile of Pandemic medical equipment was not maintained and what little that was left was given away.

Our Minister of health is not looking after the best interests of Canadians.

Our whole government is more worried about being politically correct than doing what is best for Canadians.

Our Prime Minister has been on national TV telling children he is a teacher and will help them with their homework. Trudeau was a teacher for one semester and then released under questionable circumstances.

Canada is, or was a natural resource-based economy county. Our government has systematically blocked these resources from getting to the world market while at the same time it is importing these resources from questionable sources.

Our Federal government has paid millions of dollars to national media sources. These media sources are owned by American conglomerates and directly benefit from our tax dollars.

Trudeau has been taken to court and lost for suppressing freedom of speech from independent media sources. He is presently involved with court proceedings again for a new set of similar charges.

Trudeau is not upgrading the prime ministers summer residence; he has already spent over 8 Million and rising, building a brand-new top of the line residence at a new location on the property.

Thousands of Canadians have died from Covid-19.

Millions of Canadians have lost their livelihood due to Covid-19.

Our freedom of movement has been curtailed. Our freedom of speech has been curtailed.

New foreign laws are being considered for acceptance in Canada by the present government.

 

And the list goes on! Millions of Canadians feel that our country is in distress. How dare you chastise a Canadian family for acknowledging a true fact.

You or whoever posted that statement owes me and those people who have legally expressed their views an apology.
