Letters: More rules, more reason for businesses to abandon Quebec
Amazon, which closed its warehouses in Quebec, probably doesn't worry too much about the Office québécois de la langue française.
But should the OQLF try to go after Amazon outside Quebec, Jeff Bezos might suggest to Donald Trump that it would be a case of unfair business practices. And the U.S. president might respond by telling Premier François Legault to rein in the OQLF or face, say, a 100 per cent tariff on Quebec aluminum.
For Long & McQuade, one solution might be to open a store just across the Ontario border in Hawkesbury or Cornwall. Montrealers could take a trip to shop for their music accessories and bring home some wine (less expensive at the LCBO) and fill up their car with cheaper gas.

Manoir Kanisha will be missed
I'm disappointed no solutions were found to save Manoir Kanisha while expanding Trudeau airport.
The team there provided excellent services to my golden retrievers for more than 25 years. Many clients from abroad and in Montreal benefited from its location, quality, access to veterinary attention, and the care it offered.
It is a shame airport management seemed not to understand the value it provided.

Westmount roads in sorry state, too
Re: ' Hampstead cleared to repave Ellerdale Rd. ' (The Gazette, May 23)
Now that Hampstead is set to resurface Ellerdale Rd., let's focus on Westmount, one of the wealthiest communities in Canada with some of the worst roads.
Sherbrooke St. W. resembles a washboard, The Boulevard a detonated minefield and Cedar Ave. looks downright dangerous, particularly at the intersection of Clarke Ave.
The roads have been in this state for years. It is an insult to a beautiful part of our city. An investigation is in order.

Good Samaritan warms the heart
Too often, we read about people tragically being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
How positively life-affirming and inspiring it is, then, to read of this 'mystery hero' being in the right place at the right time to save Sabato Borrelli's life by administering CPR.
Bravissimo!

Letters: Silencing doctors sends a chill
Letters To The Editor I am appalled that the Collège des médecins is telling its members not to communicate with patients about proposed legislation that could change how doctors are paid. What right does the Collège have to do this? It must be taking its cues from the government. That's a problem, especially when the political climate south of the border chips away at the right to say anything that disagrees with the government's line. Meanwhile, doctors are saying they are working under too many levels of management in a health system that is broken and toxic. Who among us would like to be in their place? Negotiating should be about arriving at a compromise. But it seems the government knows what it wants and has the power to ultimately get it. It just doesn't have to suffer with the result. That's left to the rest of us. Rod Elkin, Pierrefonds The cheers we hear for Canada's team All across the country we can hear Canadians shouting in unison: 'Go Oilers Go!' Even in Quebec, people are adding their voices to the chorus — though some presumably with shouts of: 'Allez Pétroliers Allez!' Robert Fox, Dorval Ghazal should honour her oath Québec solidaire co-spokesperson Ruba Ghazal declares Canada to be 'a bizarre country' because we invited 'the monarch of a foreign country' to read the throne speech. Whatever else King Charles III may be, he is the constitutional monarch of Canada. Ghazal, like me, is a naturalized Canadian. I assume she had to pass a citizenship test and swear her allegiance and duty to the constitutional monarch — not as a feudal overlord but as a symbol of our sovereign Constitution. Political leaders should know the Constitution and honour their oaths. Elaine Bander, Montreal Student's plea a poignant reminder Re: ' Dear Miss Teacher, Why can't I fail too? ' (Opinion, May 31) What an absolutely true and heart-rending appeal to teachers by Maïka Forget. A poignant reminder that grades should not be the only things that make an individual a good student. As a retired teacher, I was always guided by a strong underlying belief in the capacity of each young life I was privileged to have in my classroom. I salute Forget's determination that, despite the performance assessment of our educational system, she is committed to 'make the world a better place.' It is my most profound belief that she will.

Trump signs order to double steel and aluminum tariffs at midnight
U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday doubling the tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50 per cent, a move one Canadian industry official warned would have "unrecoverable consequences." The new rate will take effect at as of midnight, according to the order. "Although the previously imposed steel and aluminum tariffs have helped provide critical price support in the United States market, they have not yet enabled these industries to develop and maintain the rates of capacity production utilization that are necessary for the industries' sustained health and for projected national defence needs," read the order, which was published online after global markets closed. "I have determined that increasing the previously imposed tariffs will provide greater support to these industries and reduce or eliminate the national security threat posed by imports of steel and aluminum articles." Canada is the United States' largest steel supplier, making up nearly a quarter of all its imports in 2023. The head of the Canadian Steel Producers Association (CSPA) said Saturday increasing tariffs would "create mass disruption and negative consequences" across the supply chain and affect customers in both countries. "This latest announcement from the Trump administration is a further blow to Canadian steel that will have unrecoverable consequences," read a statement from CSPA president and CEO Catherine Cobden. The U.S. first imposed 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum from Canada on March 12. Almost immediately after the levy on metals came through, Ottawa announced a plan to retaliate with tariffs on $29.8 billion worth of American goods.

Trump issues proclamation doubling steel and aluminum tariffs
U.S. President Donald Trump issued a proclamation Tuesday, doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from all countries, including Canada. According to the proclamation, Trump says, 'the increased tariffs will more effectively counter foreign countries that continue to offload low-priced, excess steel and aluminum in the United States market.' In a press conference just hours earlier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked why Trump decided to double the tariffs despite U.S. leaders asking for more economic stability. 'You also have U.S. business leaders begging to meet with the president and begging to come to the White House to talk to him because they know he is the negotiator in chief,' Leavitt said. The only country not effected by the increased tariffs is the United Kingdom, whose rates will remain at 25 per cent. The tariffs are set to take effect on Wednesday. Trump made the announcement last Friday during a rally in Pittsburgh, Penn., saying he planned on increasing tariffs on imported steel and aluminum from 25 per cent to 50 per cent. Canada is the largest steel and aluminum supplier to the U.S. Canada exported $15.9 billion worth of aluminum to the U.S., according to the United Steelworkers (USW) union. These tariffs will have a devastating impact on workers and companies, says USW national director for Canada Marty Warren. 'We are on the verge of collapse in some places,' Warren told CTV News. 'We cannot access the American market at 50 per cent tariffs,' he said, adding that nearly 65 per cent of Canadian steel goes to the U.S. market. Warren says changes to Canada's retaliatory measures may offset the impacts of Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs, but adds that in two to three weeks, should the tariffs remain for that period, some steel companies will be forced to idle their operations. 'Again, if we can count on provincial governments and others focusing on Canadian-made products, we have a better chance to tread water to get through this, keep our head above water and be successful on the other side,' he said. LeBlanc has 'positive conversation' with Lutnick With less than 24 hours until the U.S. is set to increase tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is calling his latest conversation with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick 'positive.' 'Every time we sit down with Secretary Lutnick and his officials, we deepen our understanding in terms of the concerns they have around many of these issues, and it's an opportunity for us also to explain to them our firm position in terms of these tariffs being negative for the Canadian economy and Canadian workers,' LeBlanc told reporters moments after Tuesday's meeting in Washington. 'I'm hopeful that we can get to the best outcome for Canadians,' LeBlanc added. LeBlanc – who has been in Washington several times in recent weeks to work out a trade agreement with the U.S. – was also joined by Canada's Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman. Asked whether Canada will get an exemption to steel and aluminum tariffs, Hillman would not answer directly. 'Canada's position is that these tariffs are not justified,' Hillman said, pointing to the levies and how they contravene the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). Ford believes trade deal with U.S. 'getting closer' On Tuesday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford met behind closed doors with new U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra at Queen's Park, saying the two had a 'positive meeting.' Asked whether Canada and the U.S. can reach a new trade deal, Ford said he thinks the two countries are 'getting closer.' 'I'm confident that we'll come out on the other end in fairly good shape, and that's what we need to do. We need to bring the temperature down. We both agree on that,' Ford told reporters. Following the meeting, Hoekstra spoke at a special event in Toronto, co-hosted by the Empire Club of Canada and the American Chamber of Commerce in Canada. When asked about the state of the Canada-U.S. relationship, Hoekstra said he believes a trade deal can be done 'quickly.' 'Your prime minister, my president, they can do this quickly if they have the will and the direction to do it,' Hoekstra told the audience. 'As long as they're focused on what I've talked about, prosperity, security and safety. As a leader who wouldn't want those three things,' he added. In an interview with CTV Power Play back in May, Hoekstra shared a similar sentiment, saying he's confident Canada can reach a deal with the U.S. to secure the 'lowest tariffs of any country.'
