I hate to see the disconnect between those in government and every day Canadians.

You see these bullshit dynasties – Fords, Trudeaus, Harrises, Mulroneys. What do they truly have to show for?

• Ford was a NEPO baby at a meat processing plant in stockyards making WAAAAY above minimum wage. Somewhere around $40/hr with inflation in 2024.
• Ford’s daughter, Kara Ford, is a NEPO baby making $211k/year while being underqualified and overpaid.
• Trudeau – I’m not sure what his accomplishments are.
• Harris Sr privatized water testing which resulted in deaths in Walkerton, ON. Harris Jr. doesn’t have real credentials to do what he is doing and is overspending.
• Mulroneys had one son end up on TV and another, a bank exec after 3 years of working in the industry with a History degree. Caroline… not sure what she’s accomplished for this province other than spend and drink the Ford Nation Kool Aid.

I look at people in my life and they don’t even get that advantage in life. They don’t get those pensions, they struggle with finding jobs in their areas of study.

You look at the garbage decisions made and you wonder, why is this even a choice?

The designs in this city and province boggle my mind. You could make something more amazing but it’s currently just fucking garbage… because someone knows someone… a cousin or a brother or sister who can do the job at a lesser cost and it turns out to be shit quality.

People are willing to go against their integrity as professional licenses state in their code of conduct just to make that buck despite ruining it for everyone. You feed the corruption machine. Will your life be any better? Look around. It looks like this province is falling apart. It looks like garbage. Are you proud of it? I sure as am not. My number one goal is making sure everyone protected – people have food, work, housing, are protected against outside hazards. Basic needs. Everyone deserves to come home in the safe state they left their house in. Their homes deserve to be in good condition… not what our developers and landlords have created… and just expect more while not giving back to make living fair and safe.

I’ve said it before – if you don’t care – why are you even in the business? What is the point of your mission statement? You care or you don’t. If you don’t care – leave the industry.

You see the bills that get voted against. Things that should help Ontarians but they work against us. Why do they have these archaic thoughts where they throw fucking spaghetti at a wall and hope it sticks? We saw how Buck-a-Beer went. It didn’t.

You want more transparency and it’s not there. You have to shovel through data on your own or you have to pay for data through FOI. How is that not modern corruption? You’re paying someone to pay for information that should be readily available? It’s like a form of bribe if you really think about it.

Reminds me of visiting Ukraine. My music teacher told me to meet these people and they will show me some historical banduras. I went to pay them and they interpreted that as a bribe and said, no we don’t accept bribes. Just because you know someone doesn’t mean you should get better treatment if you pay.

As a neurodivergent person – I found that confusing because I wasn’t sure if that was a service provided? or I was getting special treatment? That gets confusing. I was just curious to see different types of banduras LOL.

The issue is that with the arts – even in this case – historical banduras – they tend to be under appreciated and people are underpaid. There’s a reason why it’s called being a starving artist. Unless you’re able to make it big time, it turns into a hobby. Which is super unfortunate. The arts can be so healing when dealing with difficult times. And that applies to whatever media you look at – music, photography, paintings, architecture, dance, poetry, literature, acting, fx makeup, comedy, etc.

I just want a world where injustices are not intense. I want our underdogs protected; our little mom and pop shops, our most vulnerable people, our people on the fringes protected. Just because someone was born into a particular ethnicity or skin colour shouldn’t determine if they should or shouldn’t succeed in life or that clique families continue to profit while they make the quintessentialist obtuse decisions in this world. 4DF.
