Where am I?

I live in Canada, if you call being a .1 living... but I am definitely alive.

I live in a small town, 60 thousand people, but small by my standards. There are less .1ers around here. Most are concentrated in the cities and major urban populations. It seems much easier to blend in amongst the whole digits that surround us, when we are in the cities.

Actually... .1ers live all around us.

They are everywhere, but most people fail to take notice of them.

That can be a good thing or it can be a bad thing.

Some .1ers want the whole world to know about them and try and speak up and out against the unjust problems that we face. It only ends up in disappointment for them and their families and friends. We usually have to rely on our families and friends to speak up for us.

Some people, consider Canada a first world country, that deeply cares about... and for it's citizens. They have been well known around the world as a very peaceful country that believes firmly in human rights. They think that children are important and that families are a key to raising a child properly. Canadian politicians talk the talk all around the whole world... but then come home and fail to walk the walk. All talk and no walk. Canada definitely has it's own internal problems that it likes to sweep under the carpet.

.1ers are just another one of the problems that the government denies existing. Well, they acknowledge that they exist... but refuse to do anything about it. They fail to treat us as human beings and shun us and will do anything to get rid of us. Sadly, most the population of Canada, and the world too... have no clue on how bad Canada treats .1er's

The government is serious when it comes to .1ers

They even built us our own concentration camp and there is talk of more being built. Don't worry... it's paid for.... by you! They want to keep us separate from the general population of whole digits. They treat us like we are a disease that is causing sores that will fester and burst. I guess they felt they had to keep us somewhere. Even though, most of us have never hurt a single person, nor would we.

They say that there are bad apples off of every tree. Well, if you want to compare trees.... you will see that the .1 tree is big... but nothing like the size of the regular digit's tree. What does that mean exactly? It means that more bad apples fall off the regular digit's tree than ours. So, people really should not be throwing stones in glass houses. Besides... it is kind of hard to hit a .1 with a rock... first you got to find one... and you usually will not know who is one unless they tell you.

I love Canada but am quite wary of the government. You can not place blame on a single word such as Liberal or Conservative. It is far beyond that. Both parties are constantly dropping the ball when it comes to .1ers

When a country will smile to the public and wave, as the rest of the World congratulates them on what a wonderful country they are and celebrating it achievements as a leader in human rights... do they know about the hundreds of thousands of .1ers that have been abandoned by Canada?

My guess is no, nor do they know, about how inhumanely Canada treats all the .1ers

I love our country, but something needs to change, or many of people are going to continue to suffer each and everyday, until something is done to help .1ers and not shun them. How can Canada claim to be a leading nation in Human Rights, when there are so many people suffering inside Canada's own borders, and they do nothing.

Shame on the Canadian government and the Canadian politicians that continue to allow our families to suffer.

Maybe they need to walk in the shoes of a .1 for a day!
