TV BLUES
Admittedly, I’m not much of a sports watcher but, probably spurned by the latest Monday night Rogers cash grab, it dawned on me that I can no longer spontaneously turn on the TV and watch a game … of any kind. As a kid in the ’50s and ’60s, the Original Six, playoff baseball and the Argos played a huge role in my life. I realize that times change, but why must we forfeit the simplest pleasures?

IMMIGRATION POLICY
Re “BATRA’S BURNING QUESTIONS: Will Carney’s central banker past mean a healthy budget for Canada?” (Oct. 22): Canada’s immigration policy continues to be an important topic of public discussion because it affects common Canadians in daily life. Immigration has played a significant role in the country’s economic growth, cultural diversity, and population development. At the same time, questions are being raised about whether current immigration levels align with the capacity of housing, healthcare, infrastructure, and other public services. Alberta voters want control shifted to the provincial government if the federal government doesn’t pay any heed. Similar debates are taking place in several European countries, where policymakers and citizens are assessing the challenges and opportunities associated with population growth and immigration. These experiences provide useful examples as Canada considers its own approach to managing future growth. As Canada continues to grow, policymakers must ensure that immigration targets are balanced with the country’s ability to meet the needs of both new arrivals and existing residents. A thoughtful and measured approach can help maintain public confidence while preserving the economic and social benefits that immigration brings to the country.

(That’s the key – a balanced approach. For the last decade it has been out of control with no planning to handle it. Even a basic managing of immigration with infrastructure growth would go a long way)
