Here are today\u0027s Ottawa Sun letters to the editor.
I was flabbergasted after reading Mr. Gunter’s column about the increase in the size of the federal bureaucracy and the average $125K-plus salary, benefits and pension contribution costs that taxpayers are covering for each and every one of the 357,000 government employees.
Seeing how PM Justin Trudeau and his crew are so big on equity, and how it would never cross their minds to reduce someone’s entitlements, I have a suggestion on how to improve the equity of private sector employees vis-a-vis their public sector equivalents. My suggestion is simply to freeze all public sector salaries, benefits and pension contributions until those of the average private sector employee have increased to the point that they match those of their public sector equals.Article contentRe: Mayor Sutcliffe calls closure of Queen Elizabeth Driveway to cars unnecessary, online edition, July 13
How dare Mayor Sutcliffe challenge the all-powerful NCC. After all, its words and decisions are never to be questioned. I say good on His Worship for taking this bloated federal bureaucracy to task over road closures. Why is the Queen Elizabeth Parkway closed to vehicles from eight in the morning until eight in the evening seven days a week?
Goodness knows there are hundreds of kilometres of trails open to the Birkenstock, latte-sipping, kale-munching spokes set. Let’s hope that if and when the Conservatives take power, they will severely downsize this bureaucracy and limit its out-of-control powers.Article content
