    I'm a CFA (Says it all).. I've lived here for six and a half years and I'm still eagerly anticipating the "Warm Maritime Welcome"..

    I'm not cheering the endless parade of pointless construction, tearing things down and paying a handful of wealthy individuals to build ghost towers is hardly beneficial to the masses. That said, the small minded "We've always done it this way" attitude will eventually bury the province. Those qualified to comment have unreservedly agreed that the conference centre will be a drain on the taxpayer up until they demolish it..

    Fund the industries that actually make money, the arts for instance. Encourage new industry. Maybe stop paying thousands of dollars to advertise Nova Scotia to Nova Scotians, advertise in the U.K. and Europe perhaps..

    I'm not a Canadian citizen, I get to pay taxes but have zero say in how they are spent. Not that I would have much influence if I could vote, it's not like I would get to decide which midnight parking lot the manilla envelope changed hands in..


    I often wonder how anyone ever earns enough money to move away..

    Re: “Be thin to win?
    Calories in/Calories out.. It's not fucking rocket science..

    Fat people are fat because they take in too many calories in relation to the calories they burn...

    Fat empowerment!? Give me a fucking break, "Ooh you're so beautiful and powerful because you're a lard arse and you pretend that you're cool with it.."..

    Empowerment isn't threatening everyone who is average sized or dares to mention food, that's called a serious personality flaw.

    There is a vast healthy range that excludes the skeletal micro-models and the Jabbas washing themselves with a rag on a stick...

    My daughters are cool, neither skinny nor chubs. I feed 'em well and let them work it out for themselves..

    Of course none of this has to do with the grating "Me Me Me!!" culture in North America where it's better to foster the fatties so they can sell yet more shit to them.... Oh no...
