Fiduciary trust broken

There is no limit to how far elected citizens will go in allowing government to abuse Canadian taxpayers.

Upon reading the story $163M student loan loss, it begs the question what the hell?

The essence is that the federal government has “written off $163 million in outstanding student loan payments that officials will never be able to collect.”

News like this should make every Canadian taxpayer want to don a yellow vest and get on a bus to Parliament Hill. It is obvious that those in power do not have taxpayers' best interests in mind. 

We are nothing more than cash cows supplying the means for governments to squander our life’s energy.

Every elected person takes an Oath of Allegiance. It is a pledge to uphold fiduciary duty towards us as taxpayers. 

As it has unfolded many times in the past, the fiduciary duty the representatives of the people say they accept actually stinks. They have failed to uphold their oath. 

Writing off Chrysler loans, student loans, pledging millions to a celebrities' charities, building expensive temporary outdoor skating rinks ... the elected are sadly failing the electorate.

That failure is downloaded to us at the municipal level in the form of increased taxation. Is it not more prudent to return tax dollars to the people to cover local infrastructure costs instead of squeezing more taxes out of the masses to cover a shortfall?

The current conditions in Venezuela cannot be compared with ours. Yet. However the plight of the people can. A sign I saw a protestor carrying said ”Apathy is the best weapon for self destruction.”

Truer words were never written.
