TAKE A SEAT LIBS First you Liberals elected Mark Carney because he was the best of the worst. Now you have the media gloating on how Carney is reacting to the tensions of the Middle East. Note to Liberals: Carney is a banker and nothing else. He and his cabinet know nothing about world affairs and do not know how to deal with them. You have no clout. You have no influence, and to be frank, no one takes you seriously! So please stop the charade and do what you do best by continuing to rack up debt! Rick Dwornikiewicz Delhi, Ont. (Carney's cabinet is amateur hour when it comes to international affairs — but we would prefer them not to keep spending the way they do and increasing the debt) LEADERSHIP FAIL As a proud Canadian senior l am very distressed and disheartened at the lack of performance of our political leaders. Whether it be Mayor Olivia Chow or Prime Minister Mark Carney, the interests of the citizens they are paid to care for are often neglected. Chow, like Justin Trudeau, seems more concerned with dressing up like a court jester at every event, while Carney seems to be allergic to telling the truth. These are serious times, and our leaders need to perform accordingly. Michael Leonard Florio Brampton (It was inevitable Carney was going to turn out to be a giant disappointment, too bad more Canadians didn't see this a couple of months ago) COMING OF WAR If, as American author Randolph Bourne averred, 'War is the health of the state,' then the U.S., Israel, Iran and God knows what other nations are soon to become embroiled in yet another futile unwinnable forever war over weapons of mass destruction that will, allegedly, leave them a whole lot better off for it. Those able to juggle such contradiction with nimble Trumpian dexterity won't be put off by absence of logic in this state of affairs while they blithely square the circle. Orest Slepokura Calgary (Hamas started the war with Israel — Iran funded Hamas and Israel has the right to defend itself by all means necessary. The precision with which Israel has dismantled Iran's leadership and military capabilities — and the U.S. with the bunker busters — is exactly why there won't be a long drawn out war) This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Federal government waiving costs to replace important documents lost in wildfires
Trees burned by wildfires in northern Manitoba are shown during a helicopter tour in the surrounding area of Flin Flon, Man., on Thursday, June 12, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Mike Deal-Pool The Canadian government is working to help people replace important documents that were lost in wildfires. The government announced on Wednesday that if people's passports, citizenship certificates, permanent resident cards or other travel documents were lost, damaged or inaccessible because of wildfires, they will be able to apply for free replacements. Status documents for temporary residents can also be restored. As well, applying to restore or extend their status will be done for free. If people have already replaced any of these documents after April 1, they can apply for a refund. Also, application and biometric fees for foreign emergency services personnel who are helping fight wildfires will be waived. 'These measures will make it easier for Canadian citizens, permanent residents and temporary residents to replace lost documents. They will also help foreign emergency services personnel come to Canada and begin their critical work more quickly, when they are needed most,' said Metlege Diab, the federal minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, in a statement. These waived costs will be in effect until Nov. 30. More details can be found online.
