Weirdoes and misfits
BC weirdoes, misfits blamed for divorce rate VANCOUVER -- A city divorce lawyer said Thursday that British Columbia has Canada's highest divorce rate because it's a province of misfits and weirdos. "This province is essentially a place for the maladjusted," Neil Fleishman said in an interview. "The end-of-the-railway phenomena still applies, making BC the end of the line for the socially and economically droughted out." Fleishman was commenting on a Statistics Canada report that B.C. leads all provinces in its divorce rate of 333 per 100000 people, according to 1976 figures, the most recent available. Alberta came second with 310 while the national divorce rate was 235. --Nanaimo Daily News, 2 Jun 1978.
