SACK FRONT
I read about the unfortunate passing of the Hamilton QB recently in the Sun. I’m pretty sure a full-size picture of Joe Zuger hunched over after an Argo sack was the inaugural front page of the very first edition of the Toronto Sun in 1971. I’m surprised you never mentioned this. I used to deliver the Toronto Telegram as a kid so I remember that first edition. I know there were a host of Telegram writers that were part of genesis of the Toronto Sun. I’m still reading and enjoying the Sun, 50-plus years later. Thanks for the memories.

TRUMP’S STRONG MESSAGE
Re “Trump tax no bluff” (Warren Kinsella, Nov. 27): Trump’s unanimous win was largely due to his promise to stop the ridiculous mass border “invasion” into the U.S. While this was obviously mainly directed at Mexico, you can’t close the southern border without worrying about the northern — hence the double tariff threat. So Trump announces the threat of 25% tariffs two months before taking over, hoping the message gets the two countries moving right away. And it has worked! Trudeau spoke with him right away and met with all premiers. There will be agreements at both borders likely before Trump’s first day. I know you hate him, Warren, but we should be so lucky here.

PM DONALD
If the result is a stronger border and better defence, then Trump will have done us a service. Shame on Canada. Now maybe he can help us with bail reform and endless pro-Hamas so-called protests. Trump for PM?
