The drug issue. The people involved have a reckless regard for others. To be near these people, or mistaken for these people, is taking your life in your hands.

We have a problem with people who wear bullet proof vests and drive vehicles that are armor plated, They have at their disposal weapons and ammunition, they use the bullets liberally.

In a family neighborhood, a women watching TV in her home received a bullet in the head. She was the receiver of a gun fight gone bad. She had nothing to with drugs or gangs.

Another man, a husband a father of a 10 month old child, was shot to death because his dodge ram pickup truck was the same model as a targeted gangster.

Last night there was a shoot-out in a farming community, the target missed. The RCMP reported that target was wearing a bullet proof vest. The target is infamous, and his family owns a lot of farming property in the area.

In BC on Hwy 7 there was a Hollywood style shoot out between vehicles.

These people are dangerous to be near, or mistaken for. They look just like you and me . They have families, they drive their kids to school. They infect our neighbourhoods, and rural communities. They ruin our communities. Just ask the people who woke up one day and found a dead man with his throat cut on their front porch. Yes it’s true.

I agree with Garth, take control into your own hands, be the master of your domain, look to the future, learn the mistakes of the past. Do what you need to do to protect yourself financially. I would add to that where ever you are,…. KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOURS. If you don’t trust them, move, find good neighbours.

Knowing the truth is better than being lied to.
Thank you Garth. Thank you to all the others that post good information. It helps to make prudent, even if painful, decisions, its helps to see clearly.

NGO, education, very stable, happy, well-funded, spacious, better technology than govt, committed to employee happiness org. Advertised in everything you would recommend. Money however, too much of a gap between NGO and Govt … we lose them to the greener grass.

Usually when employees feel compelled to flee to ‘the government’ and its insufferable claustrophobic work atmosphere, they feel terrorized and financially insecure in their present position.
