Opinion of the Provinces

[TheNewTeddy]

This goes beyond simple politics, and into the realm of intangible feelings.

Note that for feelings I have put

Great

Good

Alright

Upset

Anger

And the second slot is for trend

Improving

Unchanging

Slipping

I feel Good towards British Columbia and my opinion is Improving

I feel Good towards Alberta and my opinion is Improving

I feel Great towards Saskatchewan and my opinion is Improving

I feel Alright towards Manitoba and my opinion is Improving

I feel Good towards Ontario and my opinion is Slipping

I feel Upset towards Quebec and my opinion is Unchanging

I feel Upset towards New Brunswick and my opinion is Unchanging

I feel Alright towards Nova Scotia and my opinion is Slipping

I feel Good towards Prince Edward Island and my opinion is Unchanging

I feel Alright towards Newfoundland and Labrador and my opinion is Improving

I feel Anger towards Nunavut and my opinion is Unchanging

I feel Anger towards the NorthWest Territories and my opinion is Unchanging

I feel Good towards Yukon and my opinion is Unchanging

I feel Alright towards Canada as a whole and my opinion is Slipping

What is this ? It's some kind of metaphor for punching your pillow and sobbing your opinion about... uh... provinces and territories ?

[TheNewTeddy]

I'm curious

For example, whenever I hear NB in the news, my first reaction is "uugh god, what mess have they gotten themselves in to this time". When I recall news from NB I remember the following:

Deficits

Debt

Falling to 10th among the provinces on various rating scales

When I hear Saskatchewan in the news, I always say "oh, what new thing have they innovated" The news stories I recall about it on the top of my head are:

A very popular premier

Jobs jobs jobs

Surpluses

I never hear about NB in the news.. or ever until now

[TheNewTeddy]

Supposedly, Canadians given a blank map of Canada most often can not properly identify or find New Brunswick.

Whenever I feel concerned about the state of NS I look to NB and usually cheer up.

Has anything been innovated in SK recently?? My sense was that the boom is due almost entirely to commodity prices and resource extraction.

I live in NB and I can tell you it's a beautiful province with a lot to offer. Although the provincial unemployment rate is one of the highest in the country, Fredericton has been rapidly growing over the last several years.

The biggest problem has been awful politicians. David Alward, the premier, for instance jumped to support the Omnibus Crime Bill immediately without considering the ramifications for this already debt-crippled province. He ought to have said something along the lines of "while we support the Conservatives move to create a safer Canada, we are concerned about the cost of impelementing these changes." It's as if he has no idea this is a federalist system. I get he's a Conservative. But his number 1 concern ought to be NB.

Moncton, too. One of the fastest growing CMAs in Canada in fact.

Can I use anger and slipping? Referring to Quebec?

[Smallc]

I don't understand people's irrational animosity towards Quebec.

[TheNewTeddy]

I used to live in New Brunswick as well and never had any problems. In fact it was the province where I found I could do what I wanted most easily. The problem is with the government.

edit

I've also lived in PEI, and currently live in Ontario.

Anger is a bit much but I just picked the lowest choice. My dislike of Quebec at times is not irrational.

I also dislike other provinces at times or when it comes to certain issues. No one every calls me on it when I criticize other provinces though.

Makes sense. It's not as if NB is crucial to the very founding of the country itself, or anything......

It would appear that ignorance breeds...Canadians!
