Embarrassed Canadian

October 8, 2014

 To the Editor

On Tuesday, Sept. 23 I found myself on the channel that shows QUESTION PERIOD at the Canadian Parliament  that is suppose to GOVERN THIS COUNTRY. In my 78 plus years as a resident of Canada I have never been embarrassed to be Canadian however after have observed to action of the governing party during the first question by the opposition I did indeed feel that way.

The question was clear and simple, requesting what was to be expected of Canadian troops now in the middle east after the 30 day mission they are now on was completed and what was the actual number of troops involved. The response came THAT NEVER MENTIONED anything to do with the question asked in fact the question was asked THREE times and the same person answered three times in a manner that would not be expected from a non elected or elected government employee right out of the Prime Minister’s office. It came in fact   from the Parliamentary Secretary now the most ignorant disrespectable person I have ever heard in my life. It was disgusting , rude and completely  contrary to the rules of parliament and out of line for public viewing  especially by others around the world able to connect with the channel.

Our Government talks about lost youth going off to fight for  confusing causes abroad and wonders were they went wrong well just observing the actions on Tuesday past In the so called head of decision making for this country would definitely be a starting point. Too many over paid and disrespectful people collect wages there, that come from the Taxes WE PAY and it should stop . An election is coming we all need to think when voting and wonder why NO ONE on the Government side tried to stop this stupidity some even applauded  it .

Who is running Canada? Who should be running Canada, that is the question we ALL need to be asking.
