The whole town! Bonnie Lea Farm in Chester is in the same boat

I'll forgive myself the tiny typo. I rage wrote this in my barn while feeding horses after my friend told me what CRIA had posted.

CRIA is the social enterprise that quite literally runs Lawrencetown. Fuck everyone who supports a reduction in that sector.

Thank you for your canned reply. I need you to note that the cuts that will damage supports for vulnerable people directly, programs that support them such as CRIA in David's riding, home support and caregiver support will all land more people in hospital, and the cuts to grant funding in general will change the face of David's riding for the worse. I will make it my mission to ensure this government that has blown thru a balanced budget and billions of dollars will never hold the premier's office again. I work for NSH and my role is to measure performance. So spare me the crutch of this as a priority investment. We've spent likely 100s of millions on outside of NS services for zero measurable benefit. It it quite literally my job to track performance improvement and how dare anyone use an increase in investment in meetings about meetings to justify nuking the sector that supports our most vulnerable neighbours. Nicki.

This is my second email to my MLA's assistant. I could get in shit here but I'm out of fucks to give

Thanks to this post I now know that Brent Spiner and Jon Frakes have a pod.

I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant

I have an appointment with a lawyer next week to finally get a will and assign POA right away.

Nothing like losing someone to push my adult ass into gear.

She’s right and she should say it!!!

When the BC Conservatives voted for a bill to repeal the human rights code, the NDP caucus promptly put out a press release slamming the Cons who "couldn’t muster the courage to stand against it."

Today, 0 NDP MLAs mustered the courage to vote against a bill to close all BC's safe consumption sites

Digging thru boxes of paperwork coughed up this and holy hell I'm stoked to dig in

The view from inside Province House looking out on the Granville Street side.

I like the hieroglyphs in there for a treat.

Yeah. He's no fun.

Good! That dude is the worst.

Right? Almost feel bad for him. Central office doesn't give a shit about provincial variation. That's fair. He's going the distance to help.

He's going to draft some paperwork and hand deliver it (!!!) to my 94.5 year old grandma who lives 3 blocks away from the branch.

Rock on RBC Manager Dude.

Okay! Weird CODA. Bank Manager dude was a star. Explained that NS apparently has distinct policies/laws that RBC call centres don't know about. Fucking wild.

Like literally how to drive?

Back when we watched TV sitting on the floor as nature intended.

Oh my god

I'll never forget when my dad died BC Hydro asked me if the deceased was still occupying the residence. That was actually hilarious. None of the rest of it is.

There will be much moving of accounts and money in the near future.

We've had a death in the family. And now the bullshit starts. This shit is SO much harder than it used to be.

My mother, when her cupboard of fucks is bare, is a force of nature.

Spare a thought for the manager of the bank branch my mother is going to pay a visit to this afternoon.

My MLAs email address is Gmail. No indication of a different one.

Open letter from a physician to the premier and ministers regarding budget cuts - Halifax Examiner These cuts appear to target the most vulnerable Nova Scotians. These harms were preventable.

Right? He's going to run against Chris D'entremont. So if you join that party as a candidate now that says a lot.

And the candidate last time is someone I don't trust be be honest about what's happening, or that she understands govt particularly well. The fact that she was a ghost in the last campaign is almost secondary. These are problems!

Dude who did run in my riding has just announced his going to run for the federal PCs. Soo....

🤷🏻‍♂️

It took me many days but I finally sent the email to my MLA. I didn't swear so that's surprising.

I can't believe how much is terrible *everywhere* including my own family right now.

Time to hibernate.
