Letters November 4, 2024: 'Does the time change impact the ...

DAY OF DOOM When we turn back our clocks, does this apply to the Doomsday Clock? Terry Toll (No it doesn’t) TIME ZONE Re “Not falling for it again” (Jane Stevenson, Oct. 31): We can eat and drink to excess, text and drive too fast at the same time, go to bed at varying hours every night, get little to no exercise, and travel to our desired vacation destinations several times zones away with little or no concern about any health effects because it’s something we want to do. But change the darn clock twice a year and that’s made out to be the ruination of mankind. Don Ruttan (We should be used to this conversation happening twice a year. The arguments in favour and against the time change remain the same) FEMALE PM? DANIELLE SMITH Re: Gould, Anand or Joly for PM, letter to the editor, Oct. 27 So the letter writer wants a female prime minister and then goes on to name three they think would fit the bill. What makes people think a female would do better, let alone another Liberal? We’re constantly being told we’re racist, sexist or homophobic, yet at the same time people are basing important decisions on just that. Politically woke and DEI correctness is what got us into this mess to begin with. I don’t want a female prime minister if she’s not qualified, and not one of the three names put out there has an ounce of qualifications. If you want to talk about having a female prime minister, then I would suggest Danielle Smith. She’s articulate, smart, level-headed and does what’s good for the people of Alberta. In the meantime, we have Pierre Poilievre, who is just as qualified, if not more so. More than nine years of Liberal destruction of our country means that we need to get rid of Liberals altogether. What would make me happy is if they were reduced to non-party status; same with the NDP, as that party has been complicit in our downhill slide. SANDY JOHNSTON (The Liberals have had plenty of time to make life better in Canada. They just haven’t.)
