Dear editor:

Thanks to J. Richard Wright for his article in The Lake Report last week (“Opinion: Canada’s choice — compassion and care or extremism,” March 6), an excellent critique of the MIB-CL (Megalomaniac, Ignorant Bully who Cheats and Lies) president of the DSA (Disunited States of America).

Indeed, our medical outcomes are better than the U.S. because of their extremes of wealth, the rich and the middle and poor who can’t pay for health care.

To get money to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy, the president has launched the tariff war.

As my pediatrician colleague, Dr. Peter McMain, said many years ago, “Ah, the U.S.A. — the best in the world, and the worst in the world.”

I hope that Mr. Carney and the excellent Liberal ministers will pivot and meet the challenge with fortitude and compassion.
