The proof is in what you say goes back a few years, when the United States Government issued a legal request to Blackberry cellphones to divulge client information, and they said ‘flat out … no.’ Today they are no longer a cell company. however, Microsoft complied, and you know where they are today. Take that any way you want, but I’m just glad I live in Canada.

this is not surprising, the Federal and Provincial governments ‘decommissioned and surplus’ auction house is run by the American firm. They seem to get first dibs on items and with the 30 percent exchange rate.

Your letter is a perfect example of what many Canadians find so deeply troubling about the American worldview; 'they do not have a clue what’s going on in their own country.

Remember the Huawei episode when Canada was holding true to our “friends” in the south. The US requested Canada to hold Meng Wanzhou, on ‘bogus’ charges. Of course, we did not know that at the time. The US President played Canada against China like a fine-tuned guitar. Today, the Chinese are still pissed with Canada after choosing the wrong friends and they should be pissed. Chinese EVs, maybe.

I like Ford however, for the young families working from home, it must have been a bonus and not taking your kids to child care. But that’s my point, he should have had more licensed child care facilities in place FIRST before demanding back to the office ruling. Now, what do they do when there is a waiting list as long as your arm?

We can’t fix stupid. Most problems we have are people-oriented, which means we cannot trust people to be responsible at this time, ‘especially in the dry wooded area.’ The answer is simple: abide by the rules; it’s in everyone’s best interest. End of story!

It’s reported that ‘although dry weather contributed’, stupid people and unattended campfires are the main cause of these out-of-control fires.

sorry folks, I don’t agree, 'destroy incoming missiles aimed at North America is not totally correct, Missiles aimed at the US and shot down over Canada is more correct. Any map would show that any hostility would go over Canada’s airspace first on its way south. Normally, I would not comment on NORAD or the golden dome that Canada will be spending large on. But I am kinda peeved at the US at the moment.
