Hypocrisy from federal politicians, bureaucrats

By Letter to the Editor on November 14, 2018.

The blatant hypocrisy of our Canadian politicians and top level bureaucrats usually referred to as “mandarins” is seeing the light of day.

The federal TV ads tell you they legalized cannabis because they could not control it, yet they are making guns illegal because they cannot control them.

Trudeau largely exempted Canada’s worst polluters from paying carbon taxes citing job loss but he expects small and medium business to take the hit. This glib government leader has already admitted, “Even if Canada stopped everything tomorrow, it wouldn’t make a big difference.”

This group is also taking carbon tax money from businesses and then giving out rebates, if that was anyone else it would be known as money laundering.

These same mandarins with their multi-thousand-dollar bonuses still cannot pay their front line staff (Phoenix) who have to take the brunt of Canadian taxpayer frustration.

The ministers cannot ensure the proper execution of updates to veterans payments which would never have come to light were it not for the Ombudsman Office, even the Conservatives hands are not clean here either, it happened on their watch.

These same politicians and mandarins did away with the death penalty yet tolerate the murders of hundreds of unborn babies and seniors everyday.

Keep this in mind when they show up next year with their hand out looking for money and votes
