Editor: Wow, lots of ink on the letters page (The Times, Oct. 28) complaining of a pretty mild comment by our re-elected Conservative Member of Parliament Mark Warawa, who happens to be a Christian.
Not surprising that some letters come from the same anti-Harper partisan crowd that espouse the ‘inclusive’ buzzword but cant resist put down comments of Christians.
All people in power get nicknames — some less tasteful than others.
There are many pseudonyms in the media and on the web besides “Justin Hairdo,” like “Just-In,” “Shiny Pony,” “Hair Apparent,” etc. which goes with the territory as writers and cartoonists try to colour their stories.
Note that one offended letter writer Shawneen Hartmann had no shame in tagging our longstanding MP with “Mark Waa-waa” by excusing herself with “at the risk of lowering herself to his infantile level”.
Now compare this with Justin Trudeau’s vile burst of profanity in the House of Commons where he called his opponent, “You piece of s***.”
But the double standard media thinks this is OK, because he’s their guy.
Trudeau was elected by the Liberal media providing free campaign publicity especially the CBC and CTV openly hyping everything Trudeau, while continuously bashing the Conservatives as the evil Harper Derangement Syndrome.
Now I hear the same media having symptoms of buyer’s remorse, saying things like, “I hope he isn’t an international disaster and embarrasses us.”
The fact is, we are taking a big chance with Trudeau as he is very young at 43, inexperienced, a radical ideologue and has no qualifications to run a country. His learning curve is straight up.
His work experience is part-time drama teacher and speaking engagements for which he charged plenty, while playing hooky from his MP job in parliament.
The world economies are in very precarious times, and Trudeau has vowed to increase our debt. If our mortgage gets too expensive we could become Greece with a rapid decline of our freedom, prosperity and culture.
