Your resolutions for Justin Trudeau | The Press

In response to Stéphanie Grammond’s editorial “Our ten resolutions for Justin Trudeau”, published on December 31, many of you added your own suggestions. Here is a sample…


The greenest country

Please make Canada the greenest country on the planet. We are capable of it. We have a good Minister of the Environment. He must have a free hand and bring us to carbon neutrality as quickly as possible.

Jacinthe Berthelot

Close Roxham Road

One resolution that should be implemented would be to close the famous Roxham Road once and for all. An injustice for those who use the TRUE RIGHT WAY and who are penalized.

Yvon Lebeau

Assistance to Afghan interpreters

Accelerate the immigration of Afghan interpreters who have helped Canadian journalists in their work!

This too is a shame!

Joanne Pharand

Fiscal balance

Does a balanced budget mean anything to you, Mr. Trudeau? Although you inherited sound management from the previous government, you never managed to present a non-deficit budget even in times of great economic growth before COVID-19. With the cost of borrowing rising, a realistic plan to return to balanced budgets should be your priority.

Guillaume Morin

Digital ID

To your list, I would add the replacement of the social insurance card and its number by a solid federal platform for the digital identification of Canadian citizens to eliminate too many identity frauds. The weaknesses of the current system have persisted for too long.

Claude Lizotte

End with the Indian Act

1. The abolition of Indian Act. Transform reserves into municipalities under provincial governance.

2. Cancellation of the outdated high frequency train (TGF) project in favor of a more innovative and promising project such as a high speed monorail (MGV) project.

3. Increase the defense budget to 2% of GDP as required by NATO.

Jacques Morneau

Provincial and federal jurisdictions

Improve the performance of its own fields of competence before wanting to judge those of the provinces by civil servants too far from the action and neophytes in the analysis of divergent complex information systems whose comparability can only be a source of sterile procrastination and so expensive.

Nathalie Chartier

Return to face-to-face

I would add “bring federal employees back to the office”. Federal services would be better off.

Jacques Riberdy

Biodiversity and health

Have real courage for biodiversity and global health, therefore for the environment. Canadians continue to be major producers of GHGs and we have the means and the obligation to do so much better. We are also fortunate to have the First Peoples who can support us in this learning.

Claire Gamache

medical assistance in dying

That the law concerning the right to die with dignity be adopted as soon as possible by including people with intolerable mental illnesses and that the treatment of medical aid in dying can be done by trained practitioners in this sense and not only by doctors.

Carl Mawn

Canada’s role in the world

Redefine and establish, in the current changing geopolitical and geoeconomic context, the role that Canada wants to play at the global level. What is our vision of the situation on the planet and of the future? And how should Canada position itself with its allies and against other undemocratic regimes? Also, clearly communicate our objectives and how we intend to defend our values ​​on the international scene.

Martin Dufour

Refresh Military Strength

For 2023, I ask our Prime Minister, in addition to your ten wishes, that he put our armed forces in order. As a citizen, I worry about our national security and about our commitments to our allies. There is an enormous amount of work to be done to modernize our equipment and to recruit soldiers.

Roch Bouchard

Sanctions against Israel

May Canada have the moral courage to denounce and sanction the State of Israel for its abuses against the Palestinian people.

Jacques Morneau

Tobacco Control

Fight against smoking. Prime Minister Trudeau should follow New Zealand’s lead and ban cigarettes. First, cigarette smoking is one of the leading causes of premature death worldwide. It is responsible for many serious diseases, such as cancer, heart disease and stroke. By banning cigarettes, Canada could significantly reduce the number of smoking-related deaths, estimated at nearly 50,000. Second, banning cigarettes would help protect young people from exposure to nicotine, which can be particularly addictive. for people under the age of 25. Finally, banning cigarettes would reduce costs for the healthcare system, which often faces high expenses to treat smoking-related illnesses.

Jonathan Obadiah

Resignation

The eleventh resolution for Justin Trudeau is that he step down.

It is time for the country to have a person who makes decisions at the right time. The government already has competent people in place. Chrystia Freeland is my number 1. Mélanie Joly and Anita Anand are impressive. Note, I only see women who have “grip” and command respect.

Louis Laganiere
