I hear that. But what frustrates me is what it reveals about politics in NS. Parties don't there represent real choices. Because often there aren't real choices. Just a bunch of guys who will blow in whatever direction the wind takes them.

I can't help but find it gross when politicians don't believe in anything other than keeping their jobs by shoveling pork at their constituents. Those guys are gross!

Having to take at least a few college courses way outside of your comfort zone is good, actually! Figuring out-- specifically as a young adult-- how to cope with an 8am geology course or a class where you have to read novels or whatever is an important life skill!
