NO ONE CARES...

By Rosaldo Russo Allow me to begin this column by thanking the Oshawa/Central newspaper for allowing me the opportunity and access to the press. Not to many if any allow an average person like me to tell the world what I see and think. In my opinion. The Editor/Publisher is a real upstanding type of guy. He shoots from the hip and hold traditional core values. My name is Rosaldo Russo. I came to this great country to make a better life for myself and my family. I thank Canada for everything it has allowed me to do and earn. I worked construction all my life. I know the value of hard work and honesty. I remember as a boy my father always telling me to work hard and buy land. So I did. I remember days when I did not have enough to eat. I go to work... but I did not wait for hand outs. I rounded up my pride my skill and my determination to succeed and went to work. In those days the only benefits we received was the fact we were employed. Before retiring I was the owner and operator of local material supply company that allowed me to retired without worry. Now that I have time to enjoy life. I look around me and have some concern for future generations. I see that the world is finished. You have no idea how much it bothers me to think of the future. Many authors have attempted to predict the future in the outmost scholarly fashion. Some got it right. Others missed their mark. The bottom line is that living is the best future forecast. I look around me and we are becoming third world. Not only from the import of all kinds of people that have no real interest in keeping the traditions and culture of our great Nation. What worries me is what is happening to our government. The disconnect between government and the average citizen. How can any Federal politician support the sending of billions to foreign lands in the form of foreign aid.... When we have so many people at home in dire need. Suffering like it has never seen before. It breaks my heart to see people living in tents... Or sleeping on store door fronts. What is happening to our Canada. The real sad thing is that I or you can’t do nothing about it. Except silently suffer. Look at those that are supposed to represent us. No matter the party. They all are out for themselves. We complain about Justin.... Do we have a choice? Do you really think that the PC or NDP would do any different. To change a blind horse for a crossed eyed just because it can see a little bit better, still will not prevent us from suffering and living on the street. I thank God every morning that I lived during an era that paid for hard work. I still have the scars on my hands and the strains in my back. Today, that kind of hard work even in three jobs can’t assure you living on the street. God Help Us All.
