Responsible Government Spending
Well here it is mail time, I check my Snail mail box and what do I find amongst the bills and normal mail is a Free Mailing from a Member of Parliament. Now this is my tax dollars being spent responsibly….NOT!
In Canada Members of Parliament (Federal Government) are entitled to use free mail to send out to their constituents? information about what is happening and what the member is doing.
The problem you ask?
Well Herb Dhaliwal sent this propaganda to most if not all of the Lower Mainland of British Columbia (and probably all of British Columbia) when he in fact is the Member of Parliament for Vancouver South Burnaby and I live in the Fraser Valley riding which is over 60 miles away. Why is he using our tax dollars to send out a ‘free’ mailing? So I figure I will read the mailing and I discover that it is just an advertisement concerning all the good things the Federal Liberal Government is doing and what they are working on to make my life better. In essence the Government is advertising to prepare everyone for the next election. So why is Herb Dhaliwal sending me government advertising when my local Member of Parliament should be using this service to send info to his constituents? Oh wait a minute my local Member of Parliament is not a member of the government he is on the Opposition side.
What angers me about all of this is our hard earned money is being wasted by our duly elected government and they see nothing wrong in what they have done.
Quit wasting my Tax Dollars and get on with the business of Running the Country!
