winter coming

Haggis said:
It's well known that I do not like winter. Those that say they do tend to be more affluent or live in areas where winter is just a passing thing or a season to visit. But when I drive around the economically depressed areas of our region all I can think of of those trying to get by on $10 an hour and attempting to keep up with the extra heating costs of long cold snaps like this. Especially considering most are living in older homes that aren't all that efficient.

That's not unique to your area. I am blessed, but since my employment allows me a glimpse into other socio-economic groups, it's a lot more widespread than you may think.
 
No, I see it everywhere from here at home to the old neighborhoods in the urban areas of the larger towns. I was shocked though at how poor most of Canada is. Once you get off of the main routes, Canada is shockingly depressed.

You must be mistaken... Canada is a Socialist paradise. They want for nothing... ask any Inuk. :rolleyes:

I was joking with a guy from our Canadian plant a few years back about his free healthcare, was informed it is only free to those below a certain income level, but still got a laugh when he talked about the cost of insurance, he paid a month what I pay in a week.

Wait... you must be mistaken... the Blue politicians up North in DC are telling us that healthcare is FREE for everybody in Canada and that access is easy for everybody and for anything that they need!? :rolleyes:
 
I hate to be the one to break it to you guys, but everyone from Canada is currently in Mexico now! I see them with my own damn eyes, they're real white.
I wonder if the last guy out shut off the lights?

Canadians must be colluding with Trump and the Russians to spread conservative propaganda, I was merely a pawn.....But I do believe mayonnaise is heavily subsidized up there, well not Dukes Mayo but that other swill they try to pass off as Mayo, I think they call it Hellmans or something.
