DON’T DO IT MARK
Recommended Videos
While Mark Carney takes a few days to think about running for the position of a political leader, why would he risk connecting with the Liberals that way and risk losing his reputation and our view of his integrity? He is a smart person, we have better jobs for him.

GOULD’S GOT IT
My choice for new Liberal leader and prime minister is Karina Gould. She is well experienced, well-educated and at 37, she would be the youngest prime minister. When I met her, I told her, and she was genuinely touched by my faith and believing in her, and she will make a great PM. It is time for a long-term female PM, and she will connect with the new generation of would-be politicians.

BORDER PROBLEMS
Donald Trump is worried about our borders, saying many illegal immigrants come through to the U.S.A. from Canada. Hmm! Just a thought here, Trumpster. What is that saying about your own border patrol? Why are they allowed in? Open your eyes, the problem is split 50/50. The U.S. is just as much at fault. Canada, the 51st state? Yeah, no thank you very much.

GRUMPY OLD MAN
On Jan. 2 my dad, Willy Adamson, turned 90. You may know him as The Toronto Sun newspaper grumpy old man. He was a regular in the Letters to the Editor. He may have slowed down some, but he still has the wherewithal to let his opinions on a myriad of topics be known. Cheers to my dad who never cow-towed to the powers that be. You make me proud, dad, even as I shake my head in wonder.
