Letters, Could 18: Hold King's picture off Canadian forex

Re: Photos of King Charles III will exchange these of Queen on Canadian forex

Canada must take a breath earlier than including King Charles’s picture to our cash and $20 banknotes.

I, together with the vast majority of Canadians, oppose including the King’s picture to our forex, but Prime Minister Trudeau requested the Royal Canadian Mint to make it occur.

We’d like photographs that encourage and unite Canadians, no more monarchs and their shady colonial previous. Photos on our forex are essential and signify us all.

Reject hate assaults on politicians

I’m saddened by the assaults on the Chahal household. Politicians who search to guide and serve shouldn’t be subjected to this type of hate. Nobody ought to.

We live in instances when folks’s anger and hatred are being stoked within the public enviornment by politicians whose agenda is rooted in concern and who really feel no penalties. That is unacceptable.

All of us deserve higher. Hate should be countered with love not concern.
