Don’t Believe Carnival Carney

Melanie in Saskatchewan has an important message to share with the Elbows Up crowd:

To Mark Carney & Those Applauding Him:

I am a Canadian paying for a country that doesn’t include me.

I live in the part of the country your map forgets.
About 2,600 kilometres from the nearest stop on your proposed $90 billion train.

I am an overtaxed, under-served Canadian.

I heat my home with rising costs.
I fill my vehicle at almost $2 a litre, depending on the day and my luck.
I watch a country with 163 billion barrels of oil behave like it’s on a meagre allowance.

And you want me to pay for a train I will never use.

How thoughtful.
