It’s Wednesday
and time for another discussion on how some things in Canada are so completely
out of whack with the rest of the world.
For example, Air Canada can oversell their flights, bump you off and
compensate you with a mere $100 while American and European airlines will
compensate in the $800 to $1350 range.
The disparity in grocery staples between eastern and western Canada
ranges from one to three dollars for a bottle of milk or loaf of bread. Compare that with what you would pay across
the border:
These are small consumer issues but then
we have the case The Hogs, our greedy politicians who take from the poor and
pay the richer because for them, enough is never enough. The senate scandal continues to grow and we
will have an investigation but will heads roll (figuratively speaking, of
course)? Doubtful, very doubtful. Will we see changes to reduce spending by our
elected and appointed officials? Not
likely. Will the public be hit with more
taxes and less exemptions? Extremely
possible, in fact it is practically a guarantee.
It is baffling to me that we Canadians
will allow ourselves to be so misused and then merrily go to the polls and vote
the same greedy pigs back in to give us a little bit more of the you know
what. Are we masochists? Or are we just plain ignorant about what
parties really stand for? I cannot
understand why there is not a bigger outcry when our politicians behave
outrageously. Is it any wonder that they
will go to any length to get more money in their pockets when they know we will
just shake our heads and then move on?
Shame on us for not telling them to whoa,
slow down there pardner, hand that over.
