Re: “Marc Garneau would have been the right PM for these times,” (The Hill Times, Nov. 15).

There is no moral equivalency between Hamas and Israel: Alan Williams
I recently attended a black-tie gala in Ottawa. The honouree was a distinguished diplomat recognized for her efforts to promote women peace and security around the world.

Re: “Lowering Emissions while Growing Production: Conventional Oil & Natural Gas,” CPP ad, (The Hill Times, Nov. 14, 2023). Yet another tranche of propaganda from the oil industry.

F-Trudeau messages beyond free speech and harmful to our civic discourse, writes former NDP MP Stoffer
Lately a person cannot help but see some hateful stickers on cars and trucks or flags. I’m referring to the F… Trudeau messages.
