Friday Letters: Finding Joy in Comics, Grounding Flights, and Keeping Calm
Friday Letters: Joy, Flights, and Calm

In a world filled with sadness and treachery, finding joy has become increasingly challenging. One reader, Eugene Colavecchia of Huntsville, Ont., thanks the Toronto Sun for its daily comics section, which brings laughter and helps navigate dark days. He recalls eagerly awaiting Saturday or Sunday comics as a child and now, as an older reader, still finds delight in them.

Grounding the Flights

Barbara Spyropoulos from Weston comments on an article about Prime Minister Carney's $524,000 in-flight catering costs. She suggests implementing different fare classes on government flights, where any upgrade beyond economy is personally paid. She also proposes adding a carbon tax on government officials' travel miles, humorously noting that it could wipe out the national debt.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Larry Sylvester from Acton, Ont., responds to a column about the Liberal party's lack of principles. He advises opposition to point out errors, suggest alternatives, and stop debating, letting outcomes prove them wrong. He urges patience, invoking the British wartime attitude: keep calm and carry on. He questions why, after a decade of Liberal decline, the party still holds a majority.
