Hey Bitches!

I'm so sick of people bitching about the province (the weather, the government, feminisim, gay pride, music, kids, real estate, the list goes on and on). I talk shit a lot because I'm a whiner by nature and I talk about traveling the world but I honsetly think this is an awesome place to live.

My parents came to Canada in two seperate groups of immigrants. Both groups were stationed here. By the time I hit puberty every single person in both groups had left for Toronto or Vancouver. Except my parents. Determined to own a house and earn a living they stayed where they knew they could reach their goals. The year I graduated my parents finally could say they owned our house, not the bank. My dad teaches at the local community college and my mom runs her own business. My brother and I have always had everything we needed. And all those other people in the groups? Some, like my parents, were able to get a foothold in society and work their way up. But most weren't able to. For a small fraction it was because they're lazy fools. For the greater of them it was because they weren't able to work their way up, with the higher living costs, higher amounts of immigrants all fighting for the same jobs and to a small degree the desire to look like they've made it. Designer clothes and high tech sound systems have sucked many old friends into debt.

But that's not the point. The point is this is a great city, in a great province. We may not be the best drivers in the world and it may be slightly boring for some but think of all the great things we have. And when the city tries to boost some morale and spirit all we get are people dissing it. "We could've done better" or "It's stupid" Well no matter what they come up with it's nothing without the support of the people. We are the ones that make or break the whole idea. So what if it's a bit dorky or dated or boring? Look around you! Most of us are dorky or dated or boring. Some are all 3. And more. I wasn't overly excited about the idea at first, mostly because it was so sudden but I've decided why shouldn't I be excited? It's something new and since doing nothing only gets us a lot of little wankers complaining, well now they can't say we didn't try.

Without our support it's just 2 words. If we get behind them they become so much more.
