KEEP IT UP CANUCKS
Dear Canadians, Please continue to boycott the United States. Most Americans stand in solidarity with you and your boycott is helping. Together we can stop the monster and return America to sanity. Thank you.

ALBERTA FIRST
Re “Kicking the hornet’s nest” (Warren Kinsella, May 24): This recipe of separation has been brewing in Alberta for more than 50 years. Blaming Premier Danielle Smith for it is mistaken. She is just responding to a certain group in her constituency and the reason for this group can be traced back to the Laurentian elites and their control of resources in Canada. Treating a province like a subservient colony will only hasten its resolve to change its reality in Confederation. Unfortunately, we are the masters of our own demise. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

(Smith is not to blame at all. It’s been central governments in Ottawa who have for many decades disrespected Alberta and how much the province gives to the country)
MULRONEY FOR LEADER
Re “Pierre Poilievre’s Ontario problem keeps federal Liberals in 12-point lead” (Bryan Passifiume, May 26): I think I have a simple solution to the federal Conservatives’ Ontario problem. Now that Caroline Mulroney has announced she will be stepping down from the provincial Progressive Conservative Party, she should throw her name into the hat for the federal Conservative leadership. She is female, a red tory, and not too threatening for the Ontario boomers who have continued to prop up the Liberal Party for the last 11 years. See, it’s simple, really.

(Mulroney doesn’t seem keen to carry on in politics any time soon. But she would make an excellent candidate)
