China trade deal — Canada borrows cute panda bears — China gets rights in Canada for 35 years! Fair Trade?

Now Harper is so eager to sign away more of Canada’s future in a deal with S. Korea that opens our market to their cars, but does not include clauses that the US found essential to prevent non-tariff barriers. No provision for Canadian jobs, just more benefits for others.

Oil companies are in control of our environmental policy and the Northern Gateway ads on CBC radio are a national scandal!

Look at Norway’s oil management policy.

Look at the revenue Norway gets from oil and tell me why Canadians are in debt.

Norway produces 40 per cent less petroleum than Canada and has one-seventh our population, but has saved more than $600 billion in oil revenue and counting. This is equivalent to about 140 per cent of Norwegian GDP, or about $120,000 for every man, woman and child in the country. In contrast, every Canadian is in the red about $16,000 due to our $566-billion national debt.

There will only be the very rich and the very poor if these policies continue!

However, Harper will not say what his staff are earning!

Secrecy and lack of accountability are firm policy in the Harper government. 

Many Canadians are becoming more informed on these matters and I will do my part to try to let everyone know how the Conservative government is destroying our identity as Canadians.

Canadians who care for the less fortunate and expect health care and pensions to be paid for by our taxes and contributions.

Canadians who expect corporations to pay their fair share and governments to protect our land for future generations.

Canadians who support fair and democratic electoral process.

You are my representative in Parliament — tell them they have gone too far and the constituents are getting angry.

We will not stand aside and let Harper destroy our land and the future of our children.

How can you look at the faces of your children while allowing Canadian children to be poisoned by fracking and oil development?

The tar sand mines of Alberta are the site of the second fastest rate of deforestation in the world, behind the slashing on the Amazon Rainforest.

These citations are taken from Canadian media outlets, like the cbc and the globe and mail. These stories are not fantasy, these stories are Canadian reality.

Enjoy your trips to China and the many perks you receive — just think about how other Canadians are struggling as this government gives to the rich and dismantles the middle class.

Please think about these issues and look at your conscience — I know Harper has none — however, I hope that all Conservatives are not only out to get as much as they can for themselves and their supporters.

If you send me another letter — I will send you one in return.

Regards,

Victoria Gibson
