Dear Editor:
It is sad to see that we have Liberal politicians, like the Liberal MP in Guelph, who would stand in the House of Commons and vote against removing the carbon tax for farmers, etc. I do not believe the majority of my hometown of Guelph would support carbon tax for farmers and families.
Therefore, we have politicians who are voting the party line instead of representing the people who voted them into the position they are in. This is a sad statement for Canada.
People need to step up and let their Liberal and NDP member of parliament know, you are not happy with how they are representing you. Why are the unions letting the NDP walk all over them? The NDP used to represent the people. Now, the NDP represents the personal goals of leader Jagmeet Singh and the prime minister, not the people.
The job of your MP is to take your voice to parliament and many representatives are not doing this or the carbon tax would be removed for farmers and for families, etc. Your MP is not doing their job if they won’t stand for you on these issues.
The NDP did not have the right to make an agreement with the Liberals and exclude the people that voted them into the positions. It is time that people stood up for democracy in the ridings which Liberals and NDP are walking all over and let your Liberal or NDP MPs or party leaders know you want the carbon tax removed and let your voice be heard.
I deeply care about the environment and I am absolutely sure that if we return to valuing a just nation and pray to God above all for change of leadership, we can return Canada to the country we grew up in, one where politicians valued the voice of Canadians and did what was right for the people, showed mercy and walked humbly as servants of Canadians because this is their job.
There is a higher power over our nation and when we forget this, we get leadership that makes us groan. That is what is happening today. Please, God, keep our land glorious and free. Take time to send an email to the NDP leader and prime minister and to your MP if they are Liberal, NDP, Green or Bloc.
Thank you, Wellington-Halton Hills MP Michael Chong for voting to remove the carbon tax to help Canadian farmers and families, etc.
Carolann Krusky,
Fergus
