Letter: DICTATORSHIP

Has Canada's Democracy quietly been eroded away? Did we become so complacent and let it slip away? I don't think any middle-class people in Canada can see any light at the end of the tunnel, and there is no hope of any kind for the homeless and the destitute. If we can survive for another year, we should be able to recover our Democracy, unless, like other Dictatorships, our elections are rigged. God forbid, forcing a Carbon Tax on people that are relying on Food Banks to survive doesn't seem to be too Democratic, does it? We need to stand on guard for Canada! This has to be one for the record books when a Prime Minister weighs the steam that comes out of our chimneys and charges $80 dollars a ton for it. A Democratic country would call this Racketeering. I would like to have a Liberal MP come out to southeastern Alberta and live for a month or two and then tell us they're getting more Carbon Tax dollars back than they are paying out. They would find out that we would need the rebate back every month to try to break even!
