- Letters published through Nov. 11 continue to criticize the Nov. 4 federal budget for adding what writers call generational debt and for favouring well-off interests.
- Specific complaints in letters target a gun buyback budgeted at $742 million, an additional $150 million for the CBC, and tax changes that writers allege benefit wealthy players.
- Several letters fault the NDP for propping up the Liberal government and condemn an MP’s floor-crossing, with calls for a by-election to let voters decide Chris d’Entremont’s fate.
- An Inside Politics panel warned of an expanding wave of Indigenous land-rights cases from B.C. to Manitoba and Quebec, citing the August Cowichan ruling and the long-filed Kamloops suit.
- Panelists described legal uncertainty as a threat to property and investment and urged sending the issue to the Supreme Court through a reference case, while criticizing federal silence.
