crazy how much this bugs me now that someone pointed it out. if i worked at the white house, i would find this ugly, but not as annoying as i do now. ignorance is really bliss bc they more you learn, the more you just walk around thinking "collar gap" and "kerning is off."

NB started doing this as well. Glad these items won’t be going into the landfill anymore.

Beep was originally developed by Farmers Co-Op Dairy in Bedford, Nova Scotia in 1961, and within the next year was being marketed around the province as a "wonderful, dairy-processed product", promoted as a breakfast drink

He said there was no room to sleep. People sat up, slept on the floor, standing up. He saw many pregnant women there too. The conditions were unbearable. His wife is horrified by his account.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

/11 And so it goes on Nova Scotia. Unless Houston and Cabot have met their match? Nova Scotians are really, really, really pissed off and pretty damn determined to save West Mabou Beach Provincial Park. And that’s the end of this thread. Or is it? www.savewestmaboubeach.com
