The Government Should Work For The Greater Good

 Of course you like politicians who worked for the greater good. Politicians are likeable creatures if they support, help the most vulnerable, the working masses, the low income people and those who are struggling from the high cost of living. 

What you don't like about politicians are the corrupt, greedy and careless without remorse for the survival of struggling people. 

There are millions of struggling Canadians, not because they are out of work but no matter how hardworking they are, inflation and the cost of food and housing(mortgages & rent) are over the roof. 

In the truest sense nobody's happy. People are getting sick not because they are unhealthy but they are so stressed and pressured so much already. This is not how everybody, every family has to endure in a so called "well developed country."

People living on fixed income. What to do about it? Seniors who are living on fixed income, low OAS and low pensions and old age comes with old age ailments that need extra care. Small pensions and OA$ only pays for medications. What's for housing? What's for food? NOTHING. 

According to Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poillievre that there are 2 MILLIONS recipients of Food Bank. Wow! Really? In Canada? In a well developed country, a highly industrialized, agricultural country Canada... hard to believe but it's true that only few people can afford. 

Knowing the cost of housing had actually doubled. I know that for sure. We once rented a newly built 3 bedroom rancher house with 2 1/2 bathrooms with garage, manicured lawns and underground sprinkler for only $1,500/month in year 2012 and that type of house at present time is now $3,500/month. That house was sold for $450,000 then  in today's price, that house is now worth $ 1.2 MILLION DOLLARS. Supposedly, when houses get older the price should be depreciated or lowered but when it goes up? Hmm, that's total BS! Gluttony or just plain fooling around the most vulnerable.

Why the staggering high cost of living in Canada? It's because the population is growing. It is growing because of the high influx of new immigrants. A certain country needs new immigrants to augment the low population because the old stock Canadians are growing old. However, when it comes to growth, there are certain limits to what a country can afford, offer or it must have all the resources it need to support the burgeoning problems.
