Just a while ago, I happened to read about certain politicians who don't know or aware about poverty is real in Canada. WEIRD!?
I myself was flabergasted when I heard about such stories of poverty and the many Canadians who are suffering until somebody told me and when I asked why some people are asking donations of non-perishable food before Thanksgiving and before Christmas. The person I asked told me that there are many people in Canada who you think have problems when it comes to buying food (groceries) because their budget is allocated in their mortgages for their houses, vehicle (insurance, maintenance to run vehicles), Health Care and Dental Care insurance, medicines... they have to pay, and other utilities to pay. High electricity and gas bills, internet, education for the kids, clothing for the kids. There are many bills to pay. BILLS. BILLS. BILLS. OMG! So much bills. So much buffalo bills. He he he!
With the closure of many business establishments, the closure of pulp mills, saw mills, mining industry, retail outlets, everything is more like a domino effect. Millions of people laid off from work. These problems lead to unemployment. Massive employment. To make matters worse, workers who had already specialization or trademen skills are asked to upgrade their skills leading to going back to trade schools. It worked for several workers but to import foreign workers and refugees to the workforce add competition to more higher degree of competitiveness and the so called "silent civil war."
The economy is not much better in this generation and if your kids and many people are not smiling anymore or can't even smile leading to depression and SADs and other malady you know that there is something wrong. It's not about cancer the dreaded disease of taking the blame but the cancer of society.
Yeah, it's better to air and voice out your grievances out there. Ask questions. There's no harm in asking questions to satisfy hunger and thirst for knowledge.
Politicians should better answer the questions directly. To never elude and deceive the questioner. What are they afraid of? Answer correctly and be honest. Be honest, brave and courageous. Don't be so blind and ignore the problems in your country. If you want to lead the country you should open your eyes and be the witness to what is happening in your own land. Open your ears and listen to the people. Feel the pain and their suffering. Have enough sensible senses to know what is right and wrong. Wisdom is the key to knowledge.
