I was born here, raised here, spent most of my life here, raised my kids here. I watched our population nearly double since I graduated high school. We'd look a lot more like BC if our urban population were a bit bigger and our rural population were a bit smaller. We missed having an NDP premier by 3 ridings and 100 votes last provincial election.

Unfortunately we developed a reputation for being a place where anti-social conservatives can thrive and we've been in decline ever since.
