Here its kinda kept in one area, downtown. All the amenities for the drug abusers are in one area, so shelters, free food, free clothes and so on.
I don’t think if helped that these people claimed CERB. I know my stepson and his abuser friends all claimed. He got 31,000 in the last two years on CERB. He wasn’t qualified.
i have family and friends in Edmonton/Calgary and they say it’s bad.
It is for sure, but honestly, as i mentioned the small communities are getting the shit kicked out of them, from meth to phentanyl (sp) and laced drugs. I know personally at least 6 families in the last year that lost an immediate family member to this...
Man am i ever glad i grew up in the 70s and 80s and partied hardcore in the 80s and 90s. Life was easy...Creatine may have been used as a cutting agent or something inert, then you just had to go to the sellers place and kick his ass , just one time and rectified forever.
Now with guns, spiked drugs, stabbing in the back, teardrop tattoos everywher and everyone watching too much TV and thinking that is real in life, its rediculous. I am happy those daze are done....lol
Just recently i had some fukn a-holes come up as i was leaving the gym in a convertible. Started beaking off about my diesle truck calling me a hillbilly. Wife was with me, so i ignored 2 times, then they cut me off and did a brake check in the parking lot at goodlife.
Wife was giving me coaching, and asked me to just drive away.
But i have a trick i did many years ago and have had fantasies of how i would do it again.
Full on neck tatts ( nothing wrong with it, most of my friends do) teardrops and sideways hats on..
I said hunny, its happening.
Please stay in the car and dont yell at me as it will make me worse.
I got out of my truck and if i could have turned green i would have.
Walked up and wrapped his fucken seat belt around his throat, not once but twice, punched him in the side of the throat, bounced his face off the steering wheel, Pulled . not with all mny strength, not even close but pulled hard, then stared his buddy right in the eye. Not a smirk, not a blink, just fukn boiling over inside.
Passenger said sory, sorry, sorry man, let us go...I let go and walked back to the truck and yelled move that piece of shit or i will fucking ram you. I did it before several years ago.
I dont get violent frequently, but i have too many issues lately on the road, and it is not me...I will admit i have an issue with disrespect and it is my chink in my armor.
Sorry for going on about it, i had to tell someone.
Wife just looked at me and said are you ever gonna change, there's guns around a lot more now. I really should know better. I have theories on that though.
I said i try baby, i really try.
No guns, just a wake up call for them and i saw them in the gym a week later....lol...Not a word was spoken, but i am prepared for them to bring a tougher buddy. Typical for punks, but so far so good....
I ensure i throw on extra weight with bench press or back rows when they are in sight...lolol..I am a child at times like those. Its in my DNA from a long life of a misguided youth...
Fucken 25 year olds against a 51 year old, and they did not have a chance in hell. Ill stop now as i am getting adrenaline up sitting here..
Not one word of exaggeration or BS, i have an issue with assholes being assholes, and i work on it and can handle it anywhere, except out in public and strangers.
Not smart as there are a lot of tougher guys than me somehwere, as the saying goes....BUT, those guys are like me, they do not go looking for it often, and don't conduct themselves this way as these guys did trying to be bullies which is my deep chink in my armor.
I NEVER ever look for it and am mr smiley happy guy. I say i always have an olive branch extended, but it can turn to e red willow switch if provoked to no end.
Country boys know what a red willow switch is and true country boys probably had to go get one at request from a grandparent or something to get a swat in the ass or 10.
Sorry for going off to those offended by violence, but fuck punks and fuck bullies....All good in da hood...
I think it has something to do with the area we are living in temporary while home is being converted over...lol...I like the hoods...Feels like home...
