If we can have a ‘do not call’ list, why can we not have a do-not-mail list? It does no good to put a ‘no-junk mail’ admonition on your mailbox but even if Canada Post is not very automated, surely it can handle a ‘Do not mail’ list. All we really need is to eliminate the junk mail from our Member of Parliament.
If it was ordinary junk mail all you have to do is sort your mail near your blue box. To-day, with electronic billing, you rarely get bills and even the government uses direct deposit instead of cheques. Our Christmas cards are all shifting quickly to the Internet.
But that crap from our MP is the problem. You are too mad at what it says to want to send it to recycling. It could pollute your blue box. You want to crumple it and feed it to him. This man and his staff are so ignorant that they send you blatant lies and think you are going to buy in.
Can you believe that they can send out one of those badly printed, ugly flyers telling you the Harper government has more than tripled the number of countries Canada has free-trade agreements with (sic)? You know they have not.
And to say that Canada and the European Union have a free-trade agreement is the stupidest lie of all. Canada is lucky to be given the time of day by the EU. It seems that the possible agreement that we are supposedly working on with the EU is being considered a stalking horse for the American agreement with the EU. It seems the Germans are the ones who blew the whistle on the possible Canadian agreement. Yet there are few countries in the EU who give companies such unfettered rein that the North American courts are cluttered with companies in lawsuits with government.
But our MP here in Babel is far too ignorant of these problems related to international trade. You are sometimes amazed to note that he can lace-up his own ice skates.
But the good news is that we have heard that this gentleman is going to run again in the new riding that encompasses the south half of the old Babel riding. We are lucky enough to live in the north half of Babel that will now run as far north as the fabled fun little town of Mariposa
Mind you, the local Liberal Party in Babel figures Babel voters are going to get a two-for-one deal here. We could quite easily end up with two Liberals elected here instead of one useless Conservative. That would be okay.
