If you go to the doctor or drive on a road or send your child to school or buy food with confidence that it is as labelled or take public transit or an airplane or feel safe in your home or workplace or plan to collect CPP or baby bonus or disability or put your money in the bank or rely on the fact that you won\u2019t be shot walking down the street, or enjoy any aspect of life in this wonderful, peaceful country of ours, the government does something for you.<br \/>\nDon\u2019t like this year\u2019s flavour of government? Vote for another in our reliable, safe, gerrymander-free elections. Believe me, Canadian political party differences are minimal. No matter who leads Canada, daily life doesn\u2019t change a lot. I am so grateful to live here, to be Canadian. So fortunate, as we all are. Get your heads outta your butts, 52%. You reap the benefits of living under Canada\u2019s stable, freely elected government every day of your lives. Your Canadian government is the envy of much of the world. Those of us who were born Canadian won the birth lottery, those of us who were not strove hard to become Canadian. People die trying to get here. Be grateful. Be aware of your good fortune. Be happy.<br \/>\nHAPPY CANADA DAY.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2900\" src=\"https:\/\/muddyvalleyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/867f6db5-d319-44f5-bdbd-ae316dd14ff5.jpeg\" alt=\"867F6DB5-D319-44F5-BDBD-AE316DD14FF5\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent CBC poll of 4500 Canadians found 52 per<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-farm-life"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2899\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
