Where would Trump be in Canada?
If Donald Trump were in Canada, which political party do you think he would be affiliated with? Would it be Conservative or one of the others?
Too late for Americans to beware
Their wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing has already been in office for nearly eight years. Transforming a peace-loving progressive society to a slothful socialist country without borders! Only time will tell whether leaders like Trump, supported by the American “taxpayer” can still turn that fiasco around!
Blue Cross deal not so bad
The deal about free or cheaper ambulance fees — I believe Blue Cross has very reasonable rates for that kind of service regardless of how old or sick you are.
This city needs more personal care homes
Why haven’t there been any new personal care homes built here in Brandon? All the retirement homes here are overflowing with people who should be in personal care homes.
Giesbrecht would be a good choice
Whomever is presenting names for the new Senate program has to present Brian Giesbrecht for a senator. I am sure he would be great at helping reform it.
What’s going on here, judges?
What are these judges thinking of with giving these youths probation and house arrest when they are reoffending time after time?
Is all that noise necessary?
Is there not some kind of noise bylaw for these noisy trucks? They let them run for 20 or more minutes before driving off and it isn’t even cold out. Not too nice for shift workers or anybody else to have their sleep interrupted — and for some of us, ear plugs are a bit uncomfortable. I realize you may want to warm your vehicle up but not for the length of time some do and regardless of that the noise is unreal. Where has consideration for other people gone, down the drain, I guess! All it seems to be is ME, ME, ME. Here is an idea … back your vehicle in so you get the noise.
Noisy toys
It amazes me that so many people in Brandon have to have their little toys like those hand-held gas powered snow blowers that make the most terrible high pitched noise. The people using them have ear protectors on while the rest of us have to listen to their noise. Some of your driveways aren’t even big enough to warrant some of them and if they are then you need a bigger toy. Don’t say it is easy on the back because I suffer from back pain — and trust me, you wouldn’t be having that contraption attached to your back.
Who is paying for this trip to Spain?
I understand that Grade 10 to 12 students from Vincent Massey High School are “vacationing” in Spain this coming week. My question is: exactly how much of this vacation is being picked up by the taxpayers of Brandon; as it is a sanctioned trip by the Brandon School Division? If your answer is “not one penny,” why is BSD involved? Could this be just one more reason why our local school taxes are so out of control?
