How do you feel about this? The news stories make it sound almost like the City's main issue is people are living there. I think they are overstepping their bounds a little, especially considering we are in a housing crises and this is a relatively cheap way for people to put a roof over their head.

Jesus guys, don't spend my tax dollars on this shit. The province is poor enough without celebrating those that made us poor (that being Canada and the Canadian provincial government of NL)

Semi-related to the post. Yes, today is Saturday. No, the collaborative team clinic is not open today. So why the hell did the lady book me in for today? Doors are locked. So I walked into the walk-in clinic next door and they look in their system and say there is NO appointment for me, at all! So I imagined it? Was I talking to a ghost? Maybe I mistakenly took some peyote without realizing it and hallucinated the whole thing?

Hell, who needs statins anyway? If my next post makes even less sense then usual, I may have had a stroke.

And to be clear, I am not laying an ounce of blame at the feet of the nurses, who remain in an untenable position. The whole staff is underfunded and overworked, and the linked article is a perfect example of the attitude that leads to this sort of situation.

What an embarrassment guys. So nice that you can line up three bedroom apartments for this lady, it must be nice to be able to call up a bunch of property owning developers and real estate moguls (aka St. John's city council) when someone gets on VOCM or CBC. These are the same people the feds recently called out for a lack of ambition on housing, right?

I thought Muskrat was supposed to help us shut down the Diesel plant. I'm appalled but not in the least bit surprised.

I promise my next post won't be about Muskrat.

Unless something else goes wrong with it before I can find something better to post about.

Okay, my next post might be about Muskrat.

Ya didn't think it was over, did you???

Luckily I have a couple of air purifiers. In Corner Brook, its raining which seems to help.
