Editor: What a world we live in. I’m glad I’m not starting out, and I pity all the young families that are trying to survive. Most of them need the help of their families to make ends meet.
You hear of all the corruption, the greed and the egomaniacs holding major positions with unthinkable pay and have no regrets at feeding high off the hog, while others are going hungry and homeless.
Whether at the federal or provincial level, the old saying goes, “How do you know if politicians are lying? Their lips are moving.”
Medical care is really taking a beating. Recently I had to go to emergency and it was eight and one-half hours later when I finally saw a doctor. Meanwhile, I was placed in a chair that looked more like a supermarket cart, all while I was in tremendous pain.
It’s not the doctors, nor the nurses but the fat middle management at the trough.
Ditto for education. Nearly every week there are bottle drives or the like. Parents are expected to provide more and more. Again, it’s not the teachers — it’s middle management.
Don’t get me started on transit, Christy the photo queen or Mayor Moonbeam.
Grrr — it’s not their money, so they don’t care. Family first — yes, their families.
Finally all the charities that we give to, where does all that money really go? Just ask Red Cross about Haiti, Louisiana and every other disaster.
Canadians, for the most part, are a caring and thoughtful people, but as we see what is happening, we become more disheartened. How can we fix this vast inequity? Keep the pigs out of the troughs.
Is there anyone interested in starting a petition entitled “I can’t take it any more.”
