AGAR: Did Western Canadians cut off their nose to spite their face

2 days ago | torontosun.com | Jerry Agar |Ling Hui

There are a lot of reasons to be unhappy – angry – with the American president. Tariffs, 51st State, Governor Trudeau, etc. But none of that can be solved by you or me. That is what we elected a new prime minister and his government to handle. A few premiers, most notably Ontario’s Doug Ford, are weighing in as well. But did Western Canadians cut off their noses to spite their faces? I am not referring to those Albertans who are prepared to ask for a divorce from Canada.
AGAR: No point in waiting for the throne speech - here it is

First, I wouldn’t have the king read my throne speech. Why attack U.S President Donald Trump’s threat to our sovereignty, saying we are not a serious country, by having our sovereign, a man from another country, read the speech? As we face another postal strike, I’d step in. Yes, the post office is a Crown corporation. They run their own business, but that notwithstanding, I am taking over. No discussion about how to save the post office.
AGAR: City fails to realize coyotes are vicious predators, not my 'neighbour'

2 weeks ago | torontosun.com | Jerry Agar

City Hall posted signs featuring a photo of coyotes in a city park under the headline, “I am your coyote neighbour.” “Urban greenspace is an important habitat for me. I struggle to keep my family safe from dogs and humans.” Oh, so the humans and the dogs are the problem? The Coyote Safety Coalition has tracked over 120 attacks on dogs in Liberty Village and Fort York to date.
AGAR: Canadians should keep calm and carry on at U.S. border

An example is the rhetoric that Canadians will have trouble at the border if visiting the United States. After I said on the radio that there is no evidence that’s happening, some people sent me links, as supposed “proof” that I am wrong, to comments made by comedian Nikki Glaser, who is performing soon in Toronto.

AGAR: Carney and Poilievre’s housing plans aren’t very realistic

3 weeks ago | torontosun.com | Jerry Agar

Mark Carney and the Liberals will build 500,000 modular homes per year, for a total of two million homes. No to be outdone, Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives promise 2.3 million homes in five years. Carney says he can facilitate building 400 square foot homes for $70,000 apiece. Recently a prefab home was put up in three days in Toronto, but that was after the required infrastructure was put in place.

AGAR: Unionizing city political staffers is a bad idea

1 month ago | torontosun.com | Dave Pollard |Jerry Agar

If they do so, they will be the first in the nation, and that’s a potential danger for all municipalities in Canada. Political staffers are not like city workers from the various departments employed by all communities to do the work of local government. Staffers work for the councillor, not directly for the city. Each councillor in Toronto has a budget of $430,000 from which they employ their staff according to the wishes of the councillor.
AGAR: Carney’s handling of Chiang’s comments shows poor judgment

1 month ago | torontosun.com | Jerry Agar

Liberal leader Mark Carney has shown us that the answer is no, character does not matter when it comes to the inconvenience and possible seat loss of replacing a problematic candidate weeks before an election. Mark Carney is keeping Paul Chiang as a candidate, calling this incident a “teachable moment.” Chiang is the incumbent Liberal candidate in the upcoming federal election, running to maintain his seat in the riding of Markham—Unionville.
