This drives me nuts. Nova Scotia spends millions promoting our Ocean Playground… even including great shots of surfing. Yet Friday night (before 6pm) I’m out at Lawrencetown Beach, a provincial park, with 200 other surfers, and the Beach change rooms, and bathrooms are LOCKED/CLOSED. What the @$#%? And again this year as soon as September comes the beach house will be shut down as END OF SEASON…when everyone knows September and October (heck into November) are great beach/surfing times.
One more: Why must we watch endless TV spots promoting Nova Scotia? What a great place to visit. We’re here…we love it. Why is NS Tourism spending tons of money running these ads here? —D.E.B.

to be really brief, to suck people into coming, then fuck you, when they do get here.
Just poop in your wetsuit. It’s what all the cool kids are doing these days.
When people pay to come here and do it it’s called “Tourism”. When it’s something you do between flunking out of SMU Commerce and defaulting on your student loans it’s called “Occupational Therapy”. Go get blown by a wolf eel.
I have wondered about that too….why do we see NS tourism ads? I like ’em (even if they aren’t as good as Newfoundland’s – which are jaw-dropping) but why show them here?
Can’t pee in the ocean? Can’t change in your car?
Was it an organized event? Then blame the organizers.
Or, was the park supposed to stay open late because you were there?
Harden the fuck up, and scrub your ass with some sand.
Because if they left the facilities unlocked they would get trashed without question. Blame the LCD here not Parks Canada or Dept of Tourism.
After dark the willy smokers would swarm the place looking for some fresh seafood.
Well OB, if you worked for the government it would make perfect sense, because your brother in law would likely be an advertising salesman for a local broadcasting company.
