M'boys !! What a place the world would be
if we all could be a lil more like those Mackenzie bros.
Lower mainland BC real estate is equally sickening as the Okanogan. There is another climate 'orchard bubble' around the Great lakes. These regions, and the first 200 km's North of the 49th , comprise roughly 80-85% of Canada's population distribution. In the 80's the density was around 2 persons per squar km.
Change is coming to Alberta. Currently there is no provincial retail sales tax, or health care exspenses. Let that sink in.
Five kids born in hospital, never cost me dime.
When my son broke his leg, his ACL stayed attached and tore a dirty path back into his thigh. Emegencyroom, surgery, physio, and home care.
Free.
Low income families dont pay for dentistry or ambulance rides.
No school fees, tolled roads,,,I dont carry health insurance.
I see that all ending soon.
Or perhaps not. One glaring difference I see North of the border is political loyalty.
Down south, folks seem to dye themselves one colour.
Not here, in Canada, I feel represented in government. I can support the human being that I feel will best promote my interests.
Any individual can hold sway here. We have a voice.
I dont want my leaders consulting a playbook to see how they feel about something. This is a new world. There is no doctrine that will provide solutions to some of these emerging twists.
I hope my government is making choices from the heart.
This is not a political post. I do not have political opinions, or wish to debate them.
It just kinda leaked out; let this serve as an example of the stuff I usually delete. But, I do feel strongly about it. I simply want to convey how I feel about growing up in this province.
Still,
