Bro, Why Aren't You Angrier???

Hey y'all. I have been bottling up my feelings about the lack of compassion... EMPATHY might be a better word for it. 

I know I just wrote an entry about how invested our country became about a small Ostrich farm on the West coast; but there is also a bitter side to our country, and I desperately want to call people out on it!!!

Now don't get it twisted, I like millions of other Canadians (and people around the world), are furious about killing all the ostriches and obviously the sinister reason they pulled this power trip; but I am also angry at the people who fought soooo hard for the ostriches. Let me explain...

Canada has been in crisis mode for a few years now... some might say, it has been 10 years of being run into the ground by the corrupt Liberals. I think it's been the lack of accountability in the newer generations, and the complete lack of parenting and discipline. I am a Gen Xer, and there is no way in hell we would act the way people act today... But THAT is a rant for another day.

I am disappointed in people. They will fight and fight for animals, birds, wildlife, etc... but what about our fellow neighbours, mankind??? We have so many homeless people in what is supposed to be a first world country; and most people have become immune to it. 

I am reading, more often than not, society feels that the world would be a better place without those "vermin", "crackheads", "bums", etc.

DO YOU HEAR YOURSELVES???

I posted this meme, but it is accurate. We had our first snowfall of the season yesterday; and I couldn't help think about all the homeless. First they got a ton of rain dumped on them, then it snowed all day yesterday, and its pretty cold today.

I find it very sad that animals take precedence over human life. Yes, I fully appreciate that animals are innocent, and they need our protection BUT I don't feel it is right to not care about our fellow man's life. 

Housing is terrible here. I can't speak for other cities, but here in the Hammer, city housing has dozens, if not hundreds of homes empty and run down yet thousands, if not millions of people are living in tents, under cardboard, or anything they can find to protect themselves from the elements and others who will steal anything from them to survive.

I don't get it. Maybe I am just not meant to understand it, nor how people's minds work. All I know, is outside is dreary and depressing... and I am NOT talking about the weather!!! 

Just the ramblings of a sad, unapologetic Canadian.
