Well, the people who voted for the Liberals and our new
illustrious leader Justin Trudeau should be happy now. The way I see it they’ll
plunge us into a country with a huge debt load and the economy on a down
spiral. As they already discovered, there isn’t enough money to pay
for all those things they promised to do. This means borrowing or raising taxes.
They have no choice.
The future does not look rosy for Canada. Our Dollar is loosing value
every day, which is a good thing for exporters but not for the importers and
the average Canadian. All the things we import are costing more now—much more.
We may have to forget about eating fresh vegetables and fruit in the winter.
I have no idea why the Liberals are in such a hurry to bring
all those refugees into our country. Now they are talking 50,000 by the end of
next year. Has anyone actually sat down and did the math? How much are those
people going to cost the Canadian Taxpayer? And all those children!!. We’ve had
five families come to Winnipeg
and they’ll be settling in Altona. There are 35 children among those five
families. THIRTY FIVE. Are you getting that number? That means seven children
per family. And I’m sure they are not finished yet. With the child support coming
in they’ll be busy making more babies—if there aren’t already some in the way.
Besides, they are already asking for larger homes. With that
many children they want 4 and 5 bedroom homes. We are not geared up for
families with so many children. Most houses and apartments have two or three
bedrooms. Building anything with more than three bedrooms costs too much money.
Who will pay for those expensive homes?
I can’t understand the mentality of these people. They’ve
lived in camps for a few years, not under ideal conditions, and I’m certain
they didn’t have much to eat. Why would they bring more children into the world
under those conditions when they already had too many as it is?
The 50,000 refugees the Liberals will bring to Canada want to
bring their relatives over. Why not? After all, Canada gives away money to everyone
who holds out a hand and asks nothing in return. They’ll be supported for 2
years (and beyond) for doing nothing but relaxing. They won’t have to work with
all that money and the donations coming in.
I remember when I came to Canada; nobody gave me anything. It
was getting a job and pay my own way—swim or sink, that was the motto. And
that’s the way it should be. I paid for my trip to Canada, there were no handouts. I
demanded nothing and got nothing. And that’s how it was with all my friends who
came over here to ‘find our fortunes’. Some of us did, some didn’t. Anything we
possess now was earned the hard way—work and save. The pensions we get we
earned by paying into the plan, like every hardworking Canadian citizen did and
is still doing.
Certainly, we have plenty of freeloaders in this Country.
People who believe the government owes them something—which boils down to one
thing: the Taxpayer. The people who work and build up this country, they are
the ones paying. And our government gives away that money so freely. Let’s hope
the newcomers get jobs and pay their own way as soon as possible, the way we
all did. Unfortunately, with our economy the way it stands now, finding jobs will
be difficult, but, maybe, the Liberals who promised so much will find a way to
remedy that.
As I said before, I hope I am wrong with my negative
outlook. Perhaps it will be a good thing to bring people into this country,
especially young people. We need them to pay their fair share to keep the
economy growing and to pay for all the old people who are retiring. That’s how
it works; old people retire and make room for the younger generation to step in
and take over their jobs.
My fear is that cultures and religions will clash some day.
That will create friction and problems. Canada is supposed to be a melting
pot of people of different backgrounds. Let us hope that the newcomers leave
their rigid and intolerant believes behind and adapt to our way of living. We
are supposed to be tolerant and loving—that works both ways.
I didn't even mention all the money they are spending on meeting to demands of our Indigenous population. Much good it'll do, anyway. They'll be asking for more.
I hope you all are finished with your Christmas shopping. I
don’t know how long we can still use the word ‘Christmas’, so use it while you
still can without being charged with some offense.
Peace to the world, to you, my friends, and have a
Merry Christmas
