I had my heart broken today.... (Thursday)

As most of you know I am a quirky old fart who rides an electric bike/scooter and does some occasional consulting for which I am well paid.


Today I was assisting an industry contact and went out on my scooter to cover for him, its garbage day here in Burlington and all the recycle boxes are out. Now we lazy youngsters, like myself (67), toss out our refundable bottles. Well good people, I rounded a corner here in upscale Burlington and much to my surprise there on the side of the road were 3 seniors rummaging through recycle bins to find bottles.


What the hell has Canada come to when our seniors have to scavenge so they can supplement their pension.


I have taken my family through hell and back..... a former employer sued me for 1.7 million dollars. He didn't win but, what he did do was make me a "superstar" in the roofing industry. Despite all the negatives in my life I am one of the lucky few who industry people continue to search out and pay for his experience.


Were it not for shear luck I too would be rummaging through recycle bins to make ends meet.


This is the future your Conservative Government is offering you, your children and your grandchildren. "May they rot in hell."
