I’d like to start by stating that I’m a young woman from Alberta, born and raised here, and I hope to start a family one day and this is the reasoning for my letter to you.
I want to thank you. I can imagine the volume of negative messages and letters you have received, many I’m sure from my home province. I hear it too; it seems I’m surrounded by people who think so much differently than I do. I’ve been ridiculed for my views and so I can only imagine what you must hear on a daily basis.
So I want to thank you for doing it anyways. Creating policies with not only the economy but the environment mind, making decisions with the long term future of Canada in mind instead of only short term gain. We finally have a leader that can see the greater picture, isn’t afraid to base his decisions and actions on what he deems right instead of what will create the greatest profit or what will ruffle the fewest feathers.
As I stated, I hope to be starting a family soon. I want to know that the world my children will inherit will be a hopeful, healthy and honest one. I want to know they will breathe clean air, drink clean water, have happy, stable homes and live without fear of persecution for their beliefs. I cannot put the weight of this solely on your shoulders as it is the responsibility of all people, but I am happy knowing that we have a leader who is helping drive the changes necessary for this world to prosper instead of falter.
So please, continue to do what you know to be right. I may not always agree with you, but I can respect you for living by your beliefs and thinking of the future of this country. People cry for change but cry louder when their status quo is threatened. I’m sure the growing pains will be rough, but without these struggles this country will never advance nor see a better future.
Sincerely,
Khona Rybak
