In Nova Scotia, I've had the disgusting privilege of watching our grassroots Politicians be slaughtered 1 by 1 in each of the Federal Parties. While I didn't share some of their political views, their views were at least genuine and grounded in their ridings. Those candidates were replaced with fucking bobbleheads & airheads.
The CPC here were in rough shape after the Harper/MacKay exit and virtually became non-existent, even as opposition. Scheer and O'Tool have furthered their demise and ensured no viable Candidates exist.
The NPD Candidates here who had any worth were shoved out when JugMeat came in as Leader. Their exits were not pretty and their replacements were literal NPC's.
The LPC in the last round lost Candidates who had Values based off their actual ridings.
Even the fucking Green Party had more rational people here before this radical attack on Candidates who actually support the views of their constituents began.
It has been very obvious that ANY CANDIDATE we have in Nova Scotia who actually represents the views of their constituents is forcefully shown the door, regardless of the Party.
I can only be told, first hand, so many times "I can't talk about it, legally" before I begin to believe this is a well orchestrated assassination of any Candidate who dares represent the People over the Party System.
We HAD great People in Nova Scotia, who were loyal to their Constituents, in all Parties. Now we have NPC'S, everywhere.
Our Counselor's and Mayor of Whoville...
It's a fucking shitshow of NPC's and SJW's.
The Mayor and Councilors have been getting trashed for this lately. The Mayor even had to walk back his grand plans for "bike lanes" everywhere yesterday because so many people were telling him to fuck off.
I peed my pants in my sleep again. This "morning" is not too good for me if I can even call it a morning. the sun isn't even up yet.
Life's a mixed bag these days. I received a $2500 repair bill for my Truck Friday. I'm surprised I didn't wake up with shit in my bed.
We just have to carry on... and see what tomorrow will bring. ?
Meme on ?
Yeah it is. Life is sucky. at least for you, you can take care of yourself and don't rely entirely on someone else to provide for you. I wish I had that kind of independence. But I'm not gonna be able to get that even when I'm an adult.
Already have. Bladder deformity. Had it since I was born. Doctors say my Bladder is too small and my ability to hold it in is severely hindered because of that. And that's just one thing that was fucked up before I even took my first steps.
I'm fucking tired of it too.
None of the Parties work for us. At this point, I'd rather see an invasion of Independents take the stage and form a government.
I always voted based on the Candidate in my riding because they cared about why they got voted in. Now it's irrelevant, almost all of the Party Candidates are just puppets.
I'd still vote for a CPC Candidate IF I knew they were willing to get kicked out for standing their ground. There are still a few floating around.
I'm done with giving a shit about the Party Label. They either have the values I'm looking for or they can just fuck off.
Yup but at least you used to know your Candidates had your back in NS. With that gone, it's a bleak outlook.
Our blue collar work force is drastically increasing and they bring a Conservative base of Values with them. The University twats are forced to move to Ontario for their "type" of work.
We haven't experienced a influx of liberalism at the moment. I have hope that our situation continues to improve.
Many of our immigrants are based and can't stand Trudeau, despite what the "News" tells you.
NB is totally Fucked. Provincial control extends all the way into the boonies, taxes are worse, Horizon Health and Irving Oil are intolerable and costs are higher overall than NS. NB is Covid crazy as well.
NS may have it problems but I have been more than happy I moved here from NB 10 years ago.
Yah, the Ontario Liberals I've met that moved from out of province generally hate Trudeau, Ford, Wynne and others equally. They just seem tired of all Politics in General.
The Political options are bleak but I am pretty happy with the population as a whole.
I remember people Trashing him for being a crackhead while at the same time praising a Candidate in politics for wanting to legalize pot, heroin, crack etc. as progressive...
I miss that wacky bastard, his brother is such a disappointment.
??
Back then, I wanted a Rob Ford T-Shirt for Ford Nation.
I will only remember Ford Nation as Rob, not dipshit Doug.
Honestly No.
I rely on a variety of friends in Politics, Police and other Positions to find out what's going on.
The MSM here is completely worthless.
Before Covid, just showing up at events and places where "people in the know" frequented would get you answers, even as a stranger or aquintence. They were pretty free with there conversations.
Covid and other events have hampered that greatly.
I see and run into people much less frequently now.
