Re: Letter, Maybe the PWHL will leave town, Jan. 25.
Sean Moore, director of Lansdowne redevelopment, commented on the small quantity of seating deliberate for Ottawa Cost PWHL video games by saying “it could work itself out.” Disgrace on him.

Moore would by no means make this remark about an area for the Ottawa Senators. He must be changed. To reluctantly quote Trudeau once more, “it’s 2025.”

Trump doesn’t converse for all People
As a Canadian, I really feel we should always not retaliate in opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs if these turn out to be efficient in February, for a easy motive: Trump doesn’t characterize the American individuals as a complete.
American individuals have been our associates and loving neighbours for greater than 150 years. We should always merely endure the tariffs Trump will apply and in 4 years, these tough instances will move, however our expensive and valuable friendship with the American individuals will prevail.
No, Trump will not be the American individuals.

Alternate fee is Canada’s secret weapon
Canada has a versatile change fee. That flexibility is our secret weapon.
The Canadian greenback will fall when the Canadian economic system is weakened by imposition of extreme tariffs on Canadian exports. When our greenback falls when it comes to the U.S. greenback, Canadian export industries regain their aggressive place and U.S. exports to Canada diminish. Tariff safety of U.S. industries won’t be achieved.

This pizza story was inspirational
Re: Uproar over paltry pizza-delivery tip spurs US30K windfall, Jan. 25.
The story of the police officer, Richard Craig, and the pizza supply man, Connor Stephanoff, who lives along with his grandmother, touched me and my religion deeply. It strengthened my perception that there are nonetheless good individuals on the market.
At the moment’s information is filled with depressing, morbid and dangerous occasions, so this story is exclusive. The policeman exemplified and exceeded his human obligation and job to assist the supply man — who went above and past to stroll by means of a snow storm with out correct costume to be able to ship a pizza to an individual who tipped him solely $2.
My deepest congratulations to Officer Craig for giving $15 from his personal pocket to Stephanoff to compensate for the “meagre tip,” then initiating a GoFundMe marketing campaign which can assist Stephanoff financially, alongside along with his grandmother and a charity of Craig’s selection.
As a ultimate be aware, thanks, Mr. Craig. And please permit me so as to add what Abraham Lincoln as soon as mentioned: “I do the perfect I understand how — the perfect I can; and I imply to maintain on doing so till the tip.”
