Dear Miss Kathleen Wynne
I was so happy when you were first appointed as Premiere of Ontario and head of the liberal party here, but must say I am no longer.
I wrote to you last week and expected some sort of response in regards to gift cards and the ice storm, but I guess I do not fall in to a category of any importance to you or your party. I have also phoned the Canada works offices offering these gift cards and they told me it is first come , first serve and I have to line up before 8am, while this is fine and great, I must say I am disappointed in the way the province and the city is handling the distribution of these cards, why were they not just mailed out to the areas affected by the storm. You know damn well being without power for more than a day , that we lost food.
I can not line up and wait for a card as I am not well enough to do so every day. So I guess being forced from my home, losing food and having to eat out for 3 days holds little to no importance to you and the Liberal party.
I guess you got your 15 minutes on Tv the other day and handing out a few groceries and being appreciated with that , though I never saw you , neither did anyone in my neighborhood.
Your response is and will be more than welcome but I will not hold my breath as this is the second email I have sent now in the last week. All I can say is my vote was and has always been liberal but will now probably go towards the NDP.
With regards , awaiting your response

My letter to Harper today
I am not sure I have selected the right category but am writing you in a letter of importance to myself. I watch TV daily and am so tired of seeing commercials saying our country of Canada giving money to the Phillipines. I think we need to be offering money and help to people who involved in the ice storm in Toronto and Ontario and lost power and were forced from their homes at Christmas. I am one of those people and have not received any word of compensation or seen any thing on TV offering to help us. We live on a fixed income as do many people in our area. We had to get a hotel, eat our meals out and leave our home.
I must say I am a little disappointed how our country is looking after other countries before we look after our own. This to me has always been a problem. I have also sent a letter to the Premier of Ontario with no response at this time.
It also makes me a bit angry being originally from Alberta and seeing the suffering these people went through in southern Alberta with little to no help at all. This really sickens me that you as a government representing our Country are helping other countries more than we help ourselves, we should be cleaning our own back step before others.
While I am on this subject why not increase Old age pension and Canada Pension plan instead of making our seniors starve and have to budget as they do. I believe this is ridiculous and what we do for other countries such as the Phillipines is great but please help us Canadians first.
I hope I get a response from you, but am doubtful.
I do know though with the lack of response from Katherine Wynne and the liberal party and quite frankly never liking the Conservative party believes my vote in the next election will definitely be going towards NDP.
Thank you so much and have a great day, I am hoping to get some sort of response from you or a member of your government.

November in a Nutshell, and a Disaster December
Well here it is , again I apologize for not writing sweet fuck all for the past little while. I have been and remain extremely busy doing the last few little bits in our house and looking for work and shit.
So in November for the first three weeks Matt and I worked our butts off to get the back porch framed reinsulated, tiled and the new bathroom laid out back there. We did plumbing, electrical and in preparation to put in a powder room , built in pantry and move our laundry to the main floor.
Then on the night of the 25th of November I flew out to Alberta and spent a fabulous week with my parents, It was so great to spend some valuable time with Mom and Dad and celebrate Moms 67th birthday with them both. I am so lucky to have both my parents and be able to spend time with them and considering they are the last immediate family I have left or choose to speak to, this was incredibly valuable to me and was worth millions.
We had a blast while I was out there and it was just so much fun, no pressure to see any of my drunken siblings or self righteous nephews and nieces, just a good time for Mom and Dad and I and a great visit.
Got to also stop by and see my best galpal and meet her hubby and the twins for a night before going to the Airport to come back here. Love you lots Sandi and so enjoyed our visit and meeting Tom and the twins, you have the most amazing little family and fabulous husband and you my dear are still the most gorgeous and loving person I know.
Anyhow while I was away Matt got sick and had a lovely cold and flu, was so hot to come home to that and catch from him, not really.
Anyways we finally both got over our flu by the first week of December and got on with the back porch and finishing drywall, mudding, taping and tiling the floors, had to have heat ran back there as well, got a good friend of ours Adam in to run new Duct work, so nice back there now.
We now have it all mudded the wall is tiled in the powder room and windows are frosted and washer and dryer moved up, I tell you that is the best thing, not having to walk to the basement anymore to do laundry. Love it.
We also went to see Les Miserable on December 21st, this was a Christmas gift to Matt and we both enjoyed the show and had a great time, it was amazing and if it comes to a city near you soon, go and see it, the best. However that night continued on for quite some time we went out after so Matt could meet my friend Billy who I have not seen since 2008. Was a great night until we got home in our cab and the damn power was out, woke up the next morning Sunday and was hopeful but there was no power, we kept ourselves warm with the gas stove and in bed all damn day. On Monday the 23rd we finally gave up hope and went to a hotel with the kids for a night, Tuesday I came home to check on things and grab some stuff we needed, wasn't even an hour after I left the house to go back to the hotel and Mara called to say the power was back on.
Got back to the house late afternoon on the 24th, checked a couple of the neighbors house to make sure furnaces were all running and water pipes were good. So glad we got to come home and spend Christmas here. Mara and Jeff and Louisa came over on Christmas eve for a visit and I have to say not too impressed with one of them. All and all a good time except for the racist and sexist remarks.
Anyhow it did not ruin our fun.
Christmas was spent with my hubby Matt who bought me the best gift ever a gorgeous and warm jacket, he also slaved over the stove all day and made a fabulous turkey dinner and we had Jeff and Mara and their two fab daughters over for dinner. After all Christmas is suppose to be spent with family and they are our family here.
New Years eve we were suppose to go out, though that was spoiled too when I slipped on black ice the night before and screwed the whole left side of my body, so not fun. Matt and I stayed home, had a few drinks and saw in the New Year with my new sis and bro, Mara and Jeff. Had a great time as always, love you guys.
Okay that is all for now, I hope 2014 is amazing for all my friends and adopted family and my parents. Lets make it a great year and remember the good and bad from 2013 as this is how we learn and move on.
