No, we don't feel heard. It's as though only the needs of urban centres are being taken into account and rural areas are being disregarded.
I live in the village of Chute-Saint‑Philippe, and even within the village limits, I have to drive two kilometres away to get to my mailbox. People who live outside the village have to drive 10, 15 and even 20 kilometres to get their mail.
All our villages are in the same boat. They were built around farms started by our grandparents, when people were settling in the northern part of the country. The concessions are big, and the rural roads separating them can be far apart. Houses are at least 200 feet apart, so the distance adds up in no time.
