Is there a bundle of THE COAST’s feature stories?
I mean, I would want to get one, if it is free.
I learned a lot from it. It is mind boggling how Community Services can take children away for no reasons, drugged, and give up on them.

The behaviour of Community Services surprises you WHY? Look who the minister is. I don’t think there’s any poor people in Chester, so what qualifies J. Streatch as the boss? Being a pal of our lovely gym teacher premier, that’s all.
You’re obviously not from the South Shore. Its a pretty small section of Chester that has really rich people in it.
I hate the mentality of such snobby towns like Chester. I lived there for over a year and know how condescending some of those rich bitches can be to us average folk. Speaking of the poor, did you know that in Mahone Bay, they refuse to have a food bank? A friend of mine has been rallying for one for years but the town honchos refuse to consider it. They don’t want to harm tourism by showing that actual poor people live in town. As a result, the poor of Mahone Bay have to travel 25 kms to the nearest food bank. Which is fine if you can afford a fucking car.
Actually, John, I’m from Shelburne Co., about as South Shore as you can get. The question I was asking the original poster was “The behaviour of Community Services surprises you WHY?” It’s just not about Chester, monsieur, it’s about a rich b***h overseeing a dep’t for poor people who need help. Do you think J. Streatch has any idea what it’s like to have to choose between paying rent and getting groceries? Thank you TTFN for making my point for me so eloquently. I’ll never go to Mahone Bay ever again, now that I know they refuse to help the poorer folks in their community. That makes me ill knowing that fact.
Vicky:Hey bud, I’m from chester. We’re a lower middle or upper lower class family. We can afford to pay our rent, and for our food, but that’s about it.Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
Take your own advice, “bud”. I was talking about J. Streatch, not all the lovely folks who live in Chester. Again, has she any experience of having to choose between rent and food?
