More letters...........

Wrote a couple that haven't appeared in 'The Calgary Herald'.  In case they don't, here they are:

Dear Editor,

 Apparently, unamed Canadian delegates to the Queen’s funeral stayed in a $6,000 per night luxury hotel suite for the event.  Following on the heels of Governor General Mary Simon’s $100,000 in-flight catering fiasco, one wonders what the chatter of the recipients might have been while wining and dining in opulence?  Marie Antionette’s famous remark comes to mind:  “Let them eat cake.”

"Dear Editor,

 "Since the 2010 earthquake, Canada has given $1.8 billion in funding to Haiti, including recently more than $12.5 million in humanitarian aid.  Yet, the country remains mired in such a gang-ridden mess, the main agenda item on the Caribbean conference is the desperate state of Haiti and what to do about it?

"Naturally, Haiti wants more money, but evidence suggests throwing more funding into the country will not help, given that lawless gangs continue to run amok.  Seems to me, aid money seldom gets to where it’s needed.  Canada claims it wants a “Haitian-led solution” to the situation.  So far, how has that worked out?  It hasn’t.

"Yours truly....."

Just when I thought Canada would stand firm in not sending more money to burn to Haiti, Trudeau recently said he will be sending more.  Along with the billions we are giving to the Ukraine, how many more will we be dumping into these black, insoluble holes?  How much more ridiculous virtue-signaling is Trudeau capable of?
