Please get your shit together. I would personally LOVE to have the work schedule up, at minimum, a week in advance. But instead, week after week, we continue to get the schedule one DAY before the new work week. WIth most of us working the same shifts (except for the occassion when you decide, just for the hell of it, the throw in random shifts) I really don't see why you would make it this hard on yourself, and us! I would really like to make plans or a vacation but I find myself having to wait around for your stupid schedule.

And FYI, you're also violating the nova scotia labor laws by not giving us a week's notice on our work schedule. But hey, this is Nova Scotia, it's not as though minimum wage workers have any rights at all. We're all completely complacent in this seemingly flawless dark ages race called "who is the most desperate for employment" —I heard in Ontario and BC you actually have rights.

I've never been frozen in place before, daily tasks far more difficult, feeling a heavy heart...all the while aware of the positive potential. Is she aware of her effect-I don't know. I want to her to see my vulnerability, and I in turn want to see hers...how open I am to everything about her…

I can't see past her...and I don't want to… —a crack in the armour

Why do you drive down Quinpool screaming gibberish to random people? I saw you throw shit out of your truck. Don't you have anything better to do? I hope you get pulled over some day and have to pay a hefty littering fine.

Disgusted —go somewhere else

I love the party scene, and love sex. But don't bitch me out because of it. If you're having sex with me because you enjoy it, GREAT. But if it's because of your insecurities - which too many of you fall into this category - maybe spend more time dealing with your shit and less time fucking for ego. So don't pretend that you're in a position to call me out as a player. —player

Only in Nova Scotia would the "democratic" process lead to a town dissolving, before residents even know what state their town finances are in.

Those residents of Pictou, Stellarton, have no say in what happens going forward, such as reducing town services or employees and other options that exist - instead they are moving in the direction of amalgamation, which is an abject failure (financially, democratically) everywhere it has been implemented.

Amalgamation NEVER results in savings - fire services are the only city or town provided service that ends up working with economies of scale - everything else costs more - our province's municipalities use of in-house monopoly services for everything, means no cost savings with other municipal services are possible.

Many cities and towns in the USA went through amalgamation in the 80s and 90s, and are now DE-amalgamating.

I'm afraid in Nova Scotia, there is no going back - what representative political process do the people have to go back with? Provincial elections? lol.

I hear the provincial municipal minister convinced them all a $300,000 study on amalgamation was a good way forward - The province doesn't have municipalities' best interests in mind - this is just a provincial power grab.

The Ivanny report, and the provincial Liberal rush to reduce democratic representation in this province is contemptuous to Nova Scotia's stated democratic ideals.

Don't let the province get away with it

—Amalgamate this

This is to the stupid twat who took out her vibrator out of her purse to show us COWORKERS what she uses to get off. We didn't need to see that. As for the bragging about how great it is...um, I used to own that exact model and replaced it a week later with something that actually did the trick. That one you have sucks! Geez, you must get off from just peeing. —Vibrator Expert

There is no access to mental health services in Nova Scotia. None. You can go to "community mental health" for a peptalk and an invitation to circle time and that's it. You're lucky if you even see anything more than a social worker.

Is there GP Psychotherapists? Hell no - that would make sense. And even if there were, the MSI system would only pay 4 hours a year to the Dr. per patient.

Even private health plans here don't cover mental health. Employers would rather see you go insane and quit / go on disability (which costs them exponentially more) than to provide some basic mental health coverage in your benefits package.

No wonder this place is full of oxycontin using, drunk, nut jobs. There is no other choice then to go it alone. It sure makes those pills or bottle of alcohol seem like a good option.

As my Dr. says, the government would rather deal with you on the other side (i.e. they'd prefer to see you in jail and THEN give you access to a psychologist, hospital etc. than actually provide preventative or treatment services. )

How often do we hear mom and dad crying on the evening news because they coudlnt get the help for little johnny that he needed until he went and murderd so and so, or tortured that dog, or burnt down that house, or stole that car... what the fuck ? —Can anyone help? Another example of why this place is so fucking backwards.

Wasted talent, wasted charisma, wasted intelligence, wasted beauty. You drink too much, party too much, sit at the bar too much, fuck too many losers. You've given up, and lost all your friends that gave a shit. Now you pretend that drinking your problems away with other drunks is making you happy. But you're full of shit.

You wake up every morning knowing that you are wasting your life away at that bar, and the only thing that makes you feel any better is more drinking, more attention from losers, more self-destruction.

You are a sad cliche of a "too old to be a drunken waitress" with so little self-esteem. The good news is that I know you will eventually get your shit together, find a drop of self-esteem, and do something amazing. Or not.

Your choice.

To the guy who left the bank on Quinpool, ripped his ATM receipt into little pieces then threw it all over the sidewalk: there are garbage bins inside the bank for your waste and multiple bins outside. Sometimes it's the little things that make people look like assholes.. That was one of them. —MyParentsTaughtMeNotToLitter

To the guy with the beard at the phone store where I was contemplating taking my business until he told me to "Calm down". The fact that I was calm already and that that is an outdated, negative, patriarchal , stereotypical way of keeping down us "little ladies" clinched the decision for me to take my business elsewhere. If you had been "listening" instead of trying to be right, you would have heard that I understood what you were saying and that I didn't have a phone. I would have bought a phone from you (instead of your competitor) and set up my Ipad to link to it...alas, for you and your company, you just continued to barrel through proving a point. How many other people have you pissed off? I'm pretty sure a lot. —Your Loss!
