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.

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
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.
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.
