Yeah, I dunno. I do get quite a lot living rurally via FedEx and UPS and never had to fill out a rating card or rate service online. I’ve sent FedEx highly complementary emails regarding one of their delivery people but never heard back. I’d love to know who she interviewed for - sounds horrid!
Debra 🇨🇦 ❤️✌🏻 (@d3bster.bsky.social) reply parent
Amazon doesn’t do rating cards though, do they? I’ve been asked by a delivery for Superstore in the past to please give an excellent rating and also by someone installing fibre optics for Telus where we were told if he got anything less than a perfect score he wouldn’t get paid. Ugh.

Yeah, to be honest, there are a few things that disappoint me about this NDP govt. I left Saskatchewan because the SaskParty/ReformCons are clearly destined to be in power forever, and of course it’s better here, but it should be a lot better.

This particular friend defended C2 and C5 saying but we have to move fast to be self sufficient. By the time our conversation ended there was a different tone. Perhaps he just wanted me to quit talking, or maybe he was thinking a bit harder. I may have also brought up Neville Chamberland.
Debra 🇨🇦 ❤️✌🏻 (@d3bster.bsky.social) reply parent
I brought this up to a friend just yesterday, saying does it not give you pause at all that the CPC supports him? No red flags??

And here’s the thing. We are watching in real time a dictator on the rise. Why do we have to allow him room? This is exactly what the world did when Hitler rose to power.

You are welcome to your thoughts just as anyone who lives here & follows closely is allowed to voice theirs. I was all in on him as leader of the party. There have been some issues you may or may not have followed that have disappointed & in a democracy it’s still okay to voice it. Have a good day!

Why assume we can negotiate in good faith with a convicted felon who keeps moving the goal posts? That, along with the timing after Trumps latest slap in our face may be a factor into the reaction. Even Premiere Kinew was blindsided & asks is this elbows down? Our very sovereignty is at stake.
Debra 🇨🇦 ❤️✌🏻 (@d3bster.bsky.social) reply parent
Of course we can & ARE doing this for ourselves, but strong leadership goes a long way in boosting morale and unity in troubling times. Premiere Kinew is reading the room & acting/speaking accordingly. It’s healthy for democracy to stand up for what’s right.

Yes! It’s staggering to me that excuses continue to be made no matter what. As mentioned, I’ve been hard core NDP all my long life, but have never agreed with everything they did, esp recently. To do so is absurd. No leader or party is perfect & they need their members to hold them accountable.
Debra 🇨🇦 ❤️✌🏻 (@d3bster.bsky.social) reply parent
Yup. I’ve actually never been flat out afraid of the results of elections in Canada. Sure, never keen on a CPC government but the years since Harper, my fear has grown exponentially.
Debra 🇨🇦 ❤️✌🏻 (@d3bster.bsky.social) reply parent
And further to my comment, I also thought Carney was to be trusted. In my riding (Aaron Gunn) the NDP had the best chance of beating him & it was disappointing the Liberals even ran a candidate & split the damn vote. Still, I had hope because he seemed sincere. One disappointment after another.
Debra 🇨🇦 ❤️✌🏻 (@d3bster.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s beyond me why anyone puts any party and/or leader on a pedestal. I currently find myself party-less. I’ve voted NDP my entire life, with the exception of 2021 when I did vote Liberal. That said, disappointed in all parties at the moment, bit will vote ABC for the foreseeable future.

Who are you referring to?
Debra 🇨🇦 ❤️✌🏻 (@d3bster.bsky.social) reply parent
And elbows up, standing up to Trump & not placating. So far we’ve done “what they tell us to do” in terms of the bogus border/fentanyl issue, the DST & now tariffs. I was singing his praises too, but there are reasons to be disappointed. If you’re not, cool - that’s your choice. Have a nice day.
Debra 🇨🇦 ❤️✌🏻 (@d3bster.bsky.social) reply parent
However, I would say this… it’s not how he campaigned. He may well be playing chess, but it would’ve been an easier pill to swallow after Trump saying Canada does whatever we tell them to do, if in fact he’d campaigned on making concessions where he deemed necessary. Feels like bait & switch.

Nova Scotia's iconic Blue Nose is refusing to travel to Trumpland. This is a huge decision given the role they play in the international schooner festivals. But they will not cross the border.

If Carney had campaigned on dealing with this hit on our country by stating there would be a day to day evaluation that’d be one thing. But he didn’t & that’s why he got overwhelming support. Instead, regularly validating Trump saying “Canada does what we tell them to” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Debra 🇨🇦 ❤️✌🏻 (@d3bster.bsky.social) reply parent
And further to that, Trump just finished saying, what … a week ago(?) that Canada does whatever he tells them to do. This government is no longer disappointing; they’re infuriating.
Debra 🇨🇦 ❤️✌🏻 (@d3bster.bsky.social) reply parent
And very recently Trump also said “Canada does whatever we tell them to do”. Like wtaf? Daily he’s doing the complete opposite of what he said. Bait and switch BS. I’m so angry with him & the Liberals who are remaining silent. This isn’t what they were elected to do.

One of the two perpetrators when I was a child, was a female. No doubt the majority of pedophiles are male, but we must not forget there are some evil females out there. And the mother I had who should have protected me was complicit in not doing so, just as the women who excuse & vote for evil.

So not rhetorical then? There are many factors involved in those 10 years. For some, things improved. However, nothing in a democracy where he was duly elected made it okay to attack his family and parade around with nooses and the rude flags. Don’t like him? Use your vote wisely. And grow up.
