My criminal career ended early, when I as a preschooler came home from the store with a package of Kool-aid that I had not paid for. My mother marched me back to the store where I had to apologize to the store manager and hand the Kool-aid back. That was more than 60 years ago, and the memory is still vivid. I say front page newspaper coverage of each one caught may deter some.

Good suggestion. A walk of shame in the public sphere with invite many people who like to throw rotten eggs and overly ripe tomatos

RESPONSE FROM JONI

Hello Jamie and Pierre.

@Pierre. If you receive a request to meet Donald Trump in Mara Logo, it is likely to have come from this letter to Senator Joni Ernst, Chair of DOGE.

“Hello Senator.

CONGRATULATIONS on your assignment to DOGE.

As a long term Advocate for LESS GOVERNMENT, I am offering an innovative idea. As a frequent SUBSTACK writer, I posted it below for easy sharing.

I hope you find it useful.

Please forgive me for using the address of your state government to reach you in this way. I am motivated to contact you because, as a Canadian, I appreciate how wonderful political winds are blowing under a Trump administration and I know that we need your American example to eliminate the same globalist and Marxist forces that are destroying Canada under Trudeau.

Hopefully, our Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will demolish the Trudeau Government in 2025 and begin a similar DOGE program.

Please encourage President Trump to invite Poilievre to Mara Logo soon to send a message to all Canadian voters that the POTUS prefers a Conservative government in Canada over the current Liberal one that is in bed with the WEF, IPCC, UN and WHO.

I believe Trump and Poilievre will see to eye to eye on many important matters.

Feel free to call me if you have questions. I am retired and would enjoy the call.

Regards

Gene Balfour, Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada “
