Letters to the Editor, May 15, 2026
In today's letters, readers respond to Liberal immigration policies, a major gun seizure at the US border, and the ongoing conflict with Iran.
WE BROKE IT AND WE WILL 'FIX' IT
I received a self-promotional flyer from my Liberal MP, Ryan Turnbull. The flyer promoted the Liberals' changes to immigration and stated that they were protecting the integrity of the immigration system. More Liberal chutzpah. Break the immigration system and then brag how you are fixing it.
Rick Hird, Whitby
(No or does it that better than Liberals. What's extraordinary is how many people fall for it)
AMERICANS CAUGHT THEM
Re 'Packin' heat,' Toronto Sun front page, May 10: That is great work by American authorities to catch a major haul of illegal firearms heading to Canada. Everyone bear in mind that is just the tip of the iceberg for smuggled firearms. For more than a decade, the previous Liberal Trudeau government and the current Liberal Carney government have blamed RCMP-vetted, licensed and legal firearms owners for the carnage these smuggled illegal firearms are creating on Canadian streets. They're still selling the same message: Legal firearms owners are 'the problem' to the Canadian public. The licensed firearms owners are not the problem and have never been so with illegal firearms' use in Canada! It's the smuggling, and you can also add to that the Liberal court's laws that involve revolving door bail policies.
Larry Rayner, Innisfil
(And the buy back program is a bust. Carney Liberals same as Trudeau – they never learn)
RESOLVING CONFLICTS
Much room is available for speculation on the current conflict with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. Worth repeating is doing the right thing is never wrong, no matter what the cost, end of story. My Persian clients tell me that the regime will never give up power because they have nowhere to go. Worth consideration is perhaps negotiation with sympathetic neighbouring countries to allow safe passage and asylum to the regime — let them live on the billions already stolen, good riddance. Ghandi taught us long ago not all conflicts need to be resolved by bullets.
Perry Marinucci, Richmond Hill
(Negotiations are ongoing but what's left of the Iranian regime don't seem rational)
