LFP Letters to the Editor: July 15, 2026

A Free Press reader says Donald Trump has given Canada much more than "grief and disrespect.”

Trump has given Canada much more Sorry, Steve, but he has given us much more: physical threats, tariffs, hostility, criticism of our global contributions, constant “fake news” and too many lies to count. And I thought he was supposed to stop wars, not start them. Brian Snelgrove, London Seize the passport Re: No-show trucker gets 15 years in $7.5M drug-smuggling case (July 10).

This case of a trucker convicted of smuggling drugs at the Blue Water Bridge is a perfect example of holes in our justice system. If charged with a serious offence, their passport should be seized until found innocent. If Found guilty, they get it back after release from jail.

Ken Faust, Mitchell Break government booze monopolies Regarding the column Alcohol bans are coming back to haunt Canada (July 10). Anything that helps dismantle government-controlled monopoly alcohol systems in Canada in favour of supporting market-controlled producers and consumers, is welcome. Geoffrey Corfield, London
