K so I have kids living in Alberta now. My oldest Son is in U of C in Engineering. He's already a Power Engineer, but now going for civil. Youngest son Mechanical Engineering, and my youngest daughter is going to be a bandaid up North. (oldest daughter in 100 mile managing the clinic)
This thanksgiving my Oldest son came home, and we had some pretty in depth talk about politics. I was like holy crap, I gave birth to the re-encarnate of Karl Marx, meanwhile he pictures me as one of those gun totting preppers off of Mad Max complete with Borris the boomstick (my Ruger 270) and Randy the Ruger my 10/22. I have canned soups, potatoes, my bug out destination and plan set out lol. I admit, I enjoy knowing I can live off the land and I've been this way since about 6, but now I am thankful for my slightly crazy way of life.
What are your thoughts on the socialistic way of life? I've never ever been on unemployment insurance ever. During the toughest struggles in life, throughout my husband's immigration, this wasn't even an option. (social assistance that is or his application was void) so I simply toughed it out, went without and worked my ass off for what we have now. He's worked his ass off to build our life.
I do feel resentment towards those who say we need to give to those (not in need, but just less than) for I have experienced a multitude of "people on disability" who were simply milking the system. An entire family in fact. They were trying to urge me into voting NDP provincially for the social assistance programs. I resisted the urge to throat punch (big feat for me in that position) and seriously question this whole socialist entitled mind set. Am I missing something?
