‘Hypocrisy’

Dear Editor:

Rural residents in Guelph/Eramosa and Puslinch are not receiving the Carbon Tax Rebate rural supplement. People in other areas that the government considers rural, including Fergus, are receiving the rural supplement.

What this means is that a person living in an apartment in Fergus will receive the rural supplement but a farmer in Guelph/Eramosa is not receiving the supplement.

I have reached out to MPP Michael Chong’s office and he is bringing the issue to the attention of the minister in charge. I have also reached out the office of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau but have not received a response at this time. I believe that it is important to let the residents of Wellington County know about the unfairness and hypocrisy of the Carbon Tax Rebate rural supplement.
