The people that are talked abou...Mr Alberta Andy: <br /><br />The people that are talked about in this article, truly are the vulnerable. Maybe not someone the average person would notice as they rush through life. <br /><br />They may appear weak to the robust. Reality is a fair portion of the population are not educated and do not have the aptitude to even make an attempt. Others are born with a weaker will. Yes, that's right, genetically born with a weaker will.That's just life. Not everyone can be Steve Jobs, or Doug Gilmour, or for some, not even a truck driving license.<br /><br />So the question is: What do we do? Support our fellow disadvantaged, or trapped minimum wage Canadians, or should we cut them off with a sanctimonious judgement? Send them all to food-banks?<br /><br />Are you not happy knowing you were born with the will and drive to be able to provide for yourself and your family? <br /><br />You ever had a brother, sister, cousin who just couldn't get things right no matter how much everyone tried to guide them? Someone that couldn't do math if, or spelling, cook, clean...no matter what was tried as a remedy?<br /><br />Should they be punished for these lack of skills, or inner discord? Discarded like a lame horse? That is what is happening in Canada right now. <br /><br />People are now considered "Units, as on a production line...no good? Out it goes. This is our new reality. Business is our government and has been for decades. Problem is, now it's out in the open no more shame, just go for gold. <br /><br />So, are you telling us Andy, that you truly believe in the Conservative philosophy? "I'm alright Jack how about You"? You're in agreement with the Corps. that view Canadian citizens as PRODUCTS? They are used to dealing with that as businesses, why not people too?<br /><br />That's where we are today. A silent genocide on the lower classes. Sink or swim Serf, all others pay up!. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732335530726828393.post-43130920324955777092013-08-15T16:45:43.249-04:002013-08-15T16:45:43.249-04:00Right, Nick/Andy....nothing wrong with our gov'...Right, Nick/Andy....nothing wrong with our gov't here. You haven't been watching the news, have you? Do the RECORD DEFICIT and obscene abuse of power/overspending (not to mention corporate tax breaks with little to no benefit to the 'average canadian') somehow translate to "economic recovery" in your mind? I don't at all trust the far right because they are nothing but greedy, money-grubbing whacko's and old farts who have no idea whats really going on. I don't put much faith in the far-left, because we can't be governed by good intentions. That puts me right in the center, with other SANE and reasonable people. Please explain how this country wouldn't benefit from having an open, transparent gov't. If you make any claim that the harper conservatives have been open with the canadian public at all, I may take the time to collect all the evidence to the contrary and post it here. I've never seen anything as destructive and misguided as our current government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732335530726828393.post-51019743644025958752013-08-15T16:01:22.249-04:002013-08-15T16:01:22.249-04:00contd from above on behalf of Andy Kaut . . . .
...contd from above on behalf of Andy Kaut . . . . <br /><br /><br />The austerity measures don't make it a terrible place to live. And the dark clouds of terrible-ness that you predict at the end of the article made me smile - so many unemployed, so many cuts, so many fired. The fact remains, Sir, that we have recovered and are building an economy nation-wide that is the envy of our neighbors. Our commodities are oil, rock and blood. Great Canadians know that this has always been the case; at the start it was only rock and blood. <br /><br />Those unwilling to chase and take and conquer and love in the middle of all this are the ones who have always enjoyed their lives, will always enjoy their lives. There is joy in work and hard work, not just in getting things for free or at the cost of others. <br /><br />I can sleep at night knowing that what I have been given in this life has not come at the expense of other men. I hope the same for all Canadians; and even for you. Though some would call you a Liberal shill, I say you are Canadian. You have an ownership stake in the shipping routes, the oil sands, and the commercial fishery. You own a little bit of the rail cars that destroyed Magentic, as I do as well. So do all citizens here. There are no borders, from sea to shining sea.<br /><br />The question now is what do you do with what you've been given. If its more than someone else, maybe give back once your family is fed. Our fellow men are not 'groups' and 'disadvantaged'. They are people that, by and large, need a coffee worse than they need high-handed criticism of the government trying to keep us all together. You'll note that Steve-O has seats in Ontario, without them he wouldn't have formed a government last time around. <br /><br />This article is not the Canadian way, pissing and moaning to an international audience about domestic matters. I suggest in future you write these for the CBC. <br /><br />At least that way you'd be read by the ones that matter - Canadians who are being affected by the policies you discussed. <br /><br />Andy KautNick Fillmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01164453733837765836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732335530726828393.post-62021837958829240582013-08-15T16:00:31.759-04:002013-08-15T16:00:31.759-04:00Posted on behalf of Andy Kaut:
Mr. Nick Fillmore...Posted on behalf of Andy Kaut: <br /><br />Mr. Nick Fillmore; It took me reading your entire article (printed in Al-Jazeera online) to form an opinion on the matter. I'm Canadian as well, although I was one of the folks that voted for Mssrs. Harper and Flaherty, although indirectly. So we have that in common, you and I. <br /><br />We have experienced the same country since the Conservatives came to (nominal) power in 2006, although different parts of it. I refuse to believe, however, that regional experience makes that much of a difference. Out here in Alberta, we have seen some interesting things that have followed the global economic catastrophe of late. These have nothing to do with the disenfranchisement and 'choking' of Canada's less-advantaged, rather have more to do with people losing hope, seeing what's going on around them and giving up a little more 'git 'er done' and expecting a little more to come to them freely. <br /><br />You and I have both seen this in our respective 'ends' of the country. <br />The only difference in our experience over the last 7 years, it would seem, is that I've been paying your salary during those years. You have helped with mine, I suppose, by driving your vehicles and heating your home. <br /><br />However, all I get out of the money I pay towards your non-governmental, yet biased and bloated agency is articles like the one you've written. When was the last time the CBC wrote a glowing report of the governing party (since 2006, at least) ? <br />I don't think, having visited a lot of Canada, that we are fundamentally different, you and I. Yet I feel a gutteral revulsion while reading your words. This springs from the one-trick nature of the CBC, and I feel the same revulsion when reading Ezra Levant get onto something he knows nothing about. <br /><br />I think Canada differs more than a tribal nation in common geography and heritage. I think we come from all different walks of life, and the only thing we definitely have in common, the only thing we share for certain, is this land and our love for it. <br /><br />We don't all support the government, we don't all like other parts of the country, and we certainly don't like all the things our fellow countrymen do to make money. However. I think we all share the breath of fresh air and the thought that somewhere, right now, there's an empty mountain waiting for someone to climb it. Canada is divisive by nature yet unifying by vision. <br /><br />contd below . . . . .

A comment ...It's even worse than what you say.<br /><br />A comment on BNN today said that the dicking around with the telecom debate (whether you are pro or con) has wiped tens of billions of pension value off the large telephone companies. Never mind whether the access to cheap cell costs is valid or not. That wiping out of value comes out of your and my pensions.<br /><br />So, why the drive to do this by the CON's? Sheer, abject, doctrinaire Calgary School economics. Like, they'd happily drive the country over a cliff !<br /><br />Time to throw the bums out !! 2015 can't come quick enough.<br /><br />Not the same Anonymous as the last one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
