But hey there are those voting who don’t see employment as necessity in life either. that being said I don’t relate to the other stiffs running. Career politicians and elite level crooks with their hands deep in the pockets of those who can relate to real life. Andrew Scheer has never had a significant job outside of politics, fyi. In Regina, Scheer worked as an insurance broker, a waiter, and in the constituency office of Canadian Alliance MP Larry Spencer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Scheer#Early_life_and_career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) You know, all this talk about representation has got me thinking. Our system makes concessions for providing MPs and Senators for rural areas that is out of proportion with what people in the city get. So if its not fair to try to represent women proportionally, heck lets do away with bending over these for rural folks. Its dudes from the city from now on Edited May 18, 2019 by Jimmy McGill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my vote wouldn't count at that point since it would be them city folk's votes that count more. We barely feel we get represented up here as is. lol Edited May 18, 2019 by The Lock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why, while it sounds great on paper, representation by population is more of a headache than it is useful when it comes to running an effective government. It sucks, but it's just kind of how it is. Edited May 18, 2019 by The Lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 It’s about time the rest of Canada figured out that this part time drama teacher and full time fake feminist is in way over his head. turns out that he really wasn’t ready at all worries about his exec friends in Quebec SNC whole Alberta loses thousands and thousands of jobs. arrogant entitled spoiled a hole wasting taxpayer money flying his family for personal vacations and making a fool of himself and our Country in India. Ohhh and what carbon footprint did your jet leave Justine? How did it feel to get schooled in from Jody?

JT is simply irks me more because he has done nothing but swan around for his entire life and ride the coattails of his old man into his position. literally feeding his family off the backs of people he is completely out of touch with. quite frankly it’s nothing short of a ridiculous travesty.

I guess it depends on how you define rough. Personally I'm from an area called "The Hart" which is just north of town but has a supposed reputation of being tough and I still live just outside of town. That being said, I've always found that if I just keep to myself, nothing really happens, but it is rough for some people for sure.

Druggles is especially ironic being 1 block from a police station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, whenever I go to Kamloops I feel like I just walked into a wind tunnel. Actually, it's ironic you mentioned Kamloops as I have a friend who went down there on a visit.

It’s sketchy here, for sure. Lots of desperation here. I can only imagine how much worse it will get If industry and jobs are not a priority for the next government.

While there guys we met stole a whole &^@#ing Gibson's Finest truck. They were selling 40 pounders for $5...

If he had shut down a refinery project instead of a pipeline meant to hit foreign and not domestic markets you might have an argument. Nice story now for the facts... the majority of gas and petroleum products consumed in B.C. comes from Alberta through .... you guessed it, the trans mountain pipeline. The 2 tiny bc refineries feed the remaining supply with us imports covering about 12 percent of BC demand You are delusional to assume the impact of a chevron chevron refinery issue impacts the price at the pump of B.C. gas horgan wanted to play environmentalist with potential exports flowing through B.C. yet wanted to throw those principals out the window when Alberta threatened to throttle supply. It’s ok to put petroleum products in a pipeline for B.C. to consume put Horgan only draws the line on exports f ing environmentalist hypocrite oh and by the way seeing Alberta isn’t officially throttling our to the bc pipeline ....Alberta is simply prioritizing the supply. Enjoy your gas prices, they are going to go higher by the way Thank John Horgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
