Bluenosers deep thought
It's great to see that Canada is a caring world citizen by donating money for Ukraine defense and emergency aid for humanitarian aid. Our tax dollars hard at work else where. At the same time families that rent housing in our generous country are being forced out of their dwelling due to increased rent our government stated that it will take in those fleeing the war zone and house, feed and look after them. Flying children half way around the world for medical reasons while countless Canadians have died due to operations for serious illnesses and injuries have been delayed or totally postponed! On a personnal note have been waiting over 2.5 years for operations (not life threatening but mentally and physically draining) and cannot afford like some to take a medical vacation to a country whereas you can almost immediately get procedures done for a price . One realizes that we are still in a pandemic but at 67 I feel I have have paid the various levels of government my dues to get some medical response before I fade away and they tax my estate...bitter yes! Sure not the only Canuck that feels this way. No wonder I have never voted in my life!
Gave up watching the news as it seems to create rather then report the news echoed by other countries and talking heads. Did not seem to much fuss when Syria was in turmoil or draughts in Africa where folks were starving and still starving to death. Was however great that Trudeau on his globe trotting had taken time to visit people in a subway bomb shelter for a photo shoot
