Did my vote tonight at one of the advance polls. Not gonna say who I voted for except for one thing. I took at least five minutes to make up my mind at the station. What finally tipped it was that goddamn godawful 'look in the mirror' comment Prentice made last month. It came into my mind and, while I know that decisions made in anger usually aren't the best ones to make, I got filled with rage. Through no fault of my own I lost my house, which was pretty much the only asset I had. I don't know where my career is, or if I even have one anymore, because no one seems to know when (or if) the work situation will ever pick up. I pay my taxes like the good little drone I am, yet in the time of the worst crisis I've ever had in my entire life there's no program at all to help anyone like me. But there was $30 million available for this fucking unnecessary and unneeded election. And Mr. Harper the other day just found another $140 million to give to the assholes in Afghanistan.

So I cast my ballot and said 'please forgive me' for what I chose. All I know is that after the last thirty years of voting for conservatives, both big-C and little-c, I have absolutely nothing at all to show for it. I'm worse off now than I was when I was twenty, and I don't have any more years left in which to recover from all the damage that's been done. But, as for any politician that tells me to look in the fucking mirror, like the mess those good ol' boy assholes made out of everything is somehow all my fault? Well fuck all of you right to hell and let the heavens fall. Screw me over and leave me with nothing? If the only bit of spite I can aim at you for your graft, grift, greed, malice, and good ol' boy back-patting is to vote against you from now on in then you can absolutely fucking ensure that is exactly what's going to happen.

Yeah, yeah, you're the only one in Canada that has seen their industry take a dive. Many have seen their jobs disappear for good with no chance of coming back, like the oil industry likely will. It was happening in the '80's in the forest industry in BC, happened to other industries before then and has accelerated with globalization. But you only get it when it happens to you, for everybody else it was their own fault. Until just recently you were still drinking Harper's bathwater, probably still are. What a drama queen.

All I know is that if you and I ever end up in the same room I'm going to go out of my way to punch you right in your fucking cocksucker troll face.

Lots of left-wing concern for their fellow man from a dipshit like andy, but only if you are a fellow lefty. He's the ONLY person on this site that I feel exactly like you do.

[Thanos]

I suspect he's some 4Chan type doing this on purpose because the m.o. is pure troll brat. Some people are salt of the earth. Andy's the equivalent of the blood and shit mix that keeps leaking out of the rectum of a street whore with a severe fistula. Hey everybody! It's another AndyT contribution to the world!

You should be happy. You were whinging how I was gloating about your misfortune when i did no such thing. Finally I just can't take your woe is me crap anymore, as if, unlike everybody else, you're the prince who doesn't deserve this. As I said, no compassion for anybody else, when it happens to you, the howling starts.

The one thing I did say is that, yes, you should look in the mirror. You've been a good ole conservative voter, along with the rest of the province, mindlessly voting PC election after election. Now you want to blame the very people you voted for. Shift the blame, as usual.

I'm sick of it. In case you haven't noticed, what happened to you, has, and continues to happen to Canadians all over the country. Lots of talk about standing on your own two feet, then, when things get rough, complaining because nobody is giving you money. Just hypocritical.

Maybe you can find a job at Timmies. I'll put in a good word for ya, but try to keep it together during the interview. That woe is me stuff won't go over so well - you've gotta smile for the customers.

I'd literally have to win the lottery to be able to fix my life. That's how bad everything is now.

You're not going to die. You're not going to wind up on the street unless your drinking gets away from you, if it hasn't already. You just have to deal with some lower expectations as far as money is concerned. Lots of people in your boat - maybe you could meet some of them and make common cause.

I was up until the last few elections. My loyalties lie with WRP for the simple fact that I sure as hell don't want ndp & WRP has a lot of learning to do but we need a good opposition to the pc's

regardless of how it happened your situation sucks. It can continue to 'suck' or you can do something about it. BiL& SiL are 69 & 70. Filed last year. They lost everything & owe lots-over $100,000.They didn't quit! They sold their home & took a job managing a couple apt bldgs.

My good days are long behind me and I certainly won't be getting the magical early retirement that everyone outside of the oilpatch thinks happens for anyone inside of it. I'd leave this shithead industry behind altogether if I could afford to. I'm thinking of pulling the pin after my next couple of rounds on the pipeline anyway, assuming any of those jobs even happen. Make enough to pay off all debts and residual taxes and then, if there's enough left go for some training, and get out altogether. Go work in a grocery store or (only if I get incredibly lucky) get on with one of the governments somehow. No big bucks with either of those options but there are no layoffs and at least there's some kind of savings plan as well.

BTW, in case anyone's interested, I didn't blow my money on shit like cars, quads, or vacations. I'm not some fucking yuppie who has to trade in the car/skis/golf clubs/wife every year just to stay fashionable. The worst of my debts came in 2010-2011 when I ripped up some tendons in my hip and couldn't work at all for close to a year. Had to use up all my credit just to meet the monthly bills which, soon enough, included paying back what I owed to the creditors. And, as I've said before, my RRSP things pretty much got wiped out altogether by the 2008 market meltdown. I'll take my due lumps for being too complacent, enjoying my free time too much (a lot of that though was having to take care of things for a senior parent who's been in and out of the hospitals at least once a year for the last decade), and refusing some jobs here and there that I should have taken. But I certainly wasn't living high on the hog by any means, unless nowadays it's standard to assume that anyone buying their own detached house is somehow living some luxurious life of Riley. Take a look at my ridiculous IKEA furniture, old clothes, and twelve-year-old golf clubs and it's safe to assume that I was living the exact opposite.
