Mayor Claims Amalgamation Will Happen

The Mayor of this town says that amalgamation will happen for this county and if that is true .. then why spend $5 million on this new municipality building..?? to house 13 – 15 office workers..?? It just make no sense to me at all.

There was an uproar recently and a hot topic .. in this town of ours.. about the town spending so much money .. that could be made good use of .. in other areas. God knows we need alot more than a NEW building with health club and day care for these 13 – 15 workers in the municipality building. The mayor has spoken but when amalgamation is going to happen he doesn’t know. An amalgamation is a consolidation or merger, as of several corporations, but how is amalgamation going to help this town..?? I am seriously waiting to see.

Lower Prices ASAP

“Canadian retailers should lower prices ‘as soon as possible’: Flaherty”

Jim Flaherty is the Federal Finance Minister in Canada.. if you must know. There is currently large discrepancies between similar products just across the border. The government would not intervene, and can only encourage the retail industry to let the market work. And if the market works, prices should go down. So we are back to square one.. and big boys . .. like i said.. like SuxkkyMart and Zeller, plus Staples .. should match the prices of their HQ.. in the states. But as of today.. at all 3 big boys store.. nothing has changed. Lots of hot air again.. and nothing..!

Yes.. they told us a matter-of-factly.. that they wanted $40 for a used DS game.. and expects to be paid for it.. ??!!!??

Hello..!!! what about us..?? we run a business.. so that you can get all the money YOU want..?? we donch have to pay rent..?? we donch have to pay for heat and lights. Donch have to pay for employees..?? Donch have to pay for food..?? Donch have to pay for inventory..??

How About Some Real Action..!

Once again.. on our pathetic local paper.. i see someone complaining about the new municipality building .. the councils.. are going ahead to build. Housing at the most 15 employees… with a fitness center.

The municipal council of course wasn’t listening..! they are all set.. to go ahead.. with or without anyone’s approval. They seems to think that they are GOD..!

Of course .. i AM FURIOUS..!! it is not I who will be paying for this building.. by my children’s children…!! now if that doesn’t get your FUMING.. !! then you are a FREAKING SAINT..!

So what are the Yarmouthian doing..?? I’m waiting to see..! and no.. i’m not a Yarmouthian..!! sorry..! never will be.. and never wanna be..!!

The Wonderful Youth Here

“Oct. 5, 8:12 p.m. – Zellers had three female youths in custody as a result of obtaining food by fraud. Subjects had eaten at the restaurant and left without paying. Patrol made, subjects given Protection of Property Act notices to stay away from the business for one year. “

Isn’t this terrible..?? It sure is..! a town only with a population of 8,000 and this to happen..?? Female youth .. meaning underage.. and since their name weren’t published .. we can be quite sure.. that they are definitely underage. So when you were a kid, have you even ever thought about eating and not paying up..?? even in a hawker center.. i’ve never in my youth.. thought of doing that..! what’s more, this is a restaurant. I’ll have the say .. the youth here.. are pretty the terror..! It’s seriously sad.. but the town.. donch wanna address this problem.. so what can you do.. right..??

Way to Go.. Canadians!! You Get Them..!

“Canadians to sue 5 automakers for discrimination”

So it is ok.. for Americans to come to Canada to buy cars.. when their currency is higher.. and buy properties here.. and not the other way around..?? What meaning is that..??!!!??

‘The dealerships’ uniform denial of sales of new vehicles to Canadian citizens is a blatant pattern and practice of nation of origin discrimination.’

Absolutely ridiculous..!!! You go ..Canadians..!! show them they can’t do this to us..!!

GM, Ford, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge named in suit

“Jazlowiecki said General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge were seeking to maximize profits by not allowing Canadians to take advantage of their strong dollar and buy new cars in the United States, where prices are much lower.”

Chatting At Grocery Store

I’m sure we all meet friends/enemies and wat nots.. in a grocery store more than anywheres else in the world. And so it was an afternoon of chats .. with a few women meeting up.. not planned . .while getting our groceries before the sun went down. And to my surprised.. not everyone knows about what is going on around town at all. Yup..! you heard me right..! right where we lived.. and some are not aware of our surroundings..??

How do one save a town.. when its ppl are not even made aware of what is going on..??

Gas Prices Continues To Go Up

“Prices at the gas pumps were 12.7 per cent higher than they were in September of last year. That was because of a sudden drop in gas prices a year ago rather than any increase between August and September, Statistics Canada said.”

With gas prices going up again this year due to inflation, that would mean . .that we are going to have a very expensive winter too. If you are like us.. and owns a store.. or two… it is definitely gonna be a hard winter. So how do one survive..?? there is really no way to. How can a small business like ours.. compete with Walmart..?? no way..! heating the store will cost us a big fortune .. on top of everything. .we have to pay for power, internet.. inventory and phone bills, bill for the swiping machine.. bill to clean the glass windows, bill to garbage collector, bills to keep the inventory at a decent level and of course the rent and employees.
