Letters to the Editor, June 3, 2026
In a letter published on June 3, 2026, a reader from Simcoe, Ont., draws a comparison between the current Canadian government and the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The writer objects to the government's claim that Canada is performing well compared to other G7 countries, stating that they do not care about other nations' performance. Instead, they want to know how Canada compares to itself 15 years ago, when the Canadian dollar was stronger than the U.S. dollar and people could afford groceries and rent. The letter challenges the prime minister to compare Canada to 2011 rather than hiding among the Seven Dwarfs.
Another reader from Fairview, Alta., sarcastically praises the Liberals for allowing Canada to have the worst economy in the G7. They describe their efforts to become self-sufficient by gardening, building a greenhouse, a chicken coop, and raising livestock, but note that they now need to dig a hole for salmon to eat affordably. The writer suggests that there is still room for the economy to worsen under Liberal leadership, calling it a bottomless pit.
A third letter from Etobicoke criticizes Mayor Olivia Chow for holding a press conference to announce the reopening of the Amsterdam bridge, which the writer believes could have been fixed five years ago. They urge Toronto residents to make a better choice in the upcoming October election, describing Chow as one of the worst mayors Toronto has had.
