Canada is falling apart. I can't stand listening to anything on the news anymore, has anyone noticed that everything is getting worse? The more we change things "for the better" the worse everything gets. The more surveys that are done, the more lies are told.
We can talk we want. But nothing's really changed. People should stop denying the truth and just do something about it rather than having "dialogue", "think tanks", "committees", and using "language".
How about we stop having kids when we shouldn't or start being better parents when we should. Some parents are overworked, and don't ACTUALLY do enough for their kids, but some parents are just idiots! Let's remember Santa isn't real, and making up for your lack of "being there" by getting them that NINTENDO WII, won't make everything better.
I have to say that Toronto is almost like another planet....sure there are problems but it can't just be blamed on our cultural differences, or race or the school system failing our kids. If you are poor, have a horrible family life, or idiots for parents, it can affect you in so many ways, but we can't always blame society or the schools. Sometimes you just have to choose to do something about it, yourself, knowing RIGHT FROM WRONG, breaking patterns and teaching your kids to know right from wrong.
Teenage years are tough enough, just look at the media these days. I don't remember having any sort of "role models" like teenagers are looking up to, today, but that's not the real issue.
The school system IS NOT supposed to be a second parent. Our failing schools? I sorta believe in that, but only certain aspects of it. Coming from a high school in a small town in New Brunswick I can actually speak about a shitty school system. I can speak about a system with no money, no opportunity, not many chances for further education, no proper planning for the future. None of us really had a great high school experience....This is nothing new.
Toronto is unique in some ways, but it's not the only city/town that struggles. Toronto offers so many opportunities to it's students that most in the entire country will NEVER have. People should appreicate and respect that, rather than bitching, because whether YOU believe it or not, some towns/cities have it way worse than Toronto could ever dream....and I'm not just talking about school. I'm talking about housing, access to clean water, education, job opprotunities, health care, and every day life...etc. etc. How can one advance when there ARE no opportunites.....You have to make "the system" work, not tear it apart, like everyting else.
Toronto is a messed up city.
'The fucking bottom line' is......Nobody in Toronto will ever be happy. NOT EVER. No matter how good things get. This city digs, and looks for issues to bitch about, and the rest of the country will continue to HATE Toronto because they have every fucking right to.
