I thought similar during the postal strikes, yes an inconvenience but the workers deserve better. I haven’t read up much on the actual demands but I can only assume if they’re striking (and rejecting the back to work) that something needs to be done. Plain random workers make the world work, they have the power really.

I recall as a new driver (1997?) my insurance was cheaper in BC the after moving back to Alberta (early 2000ish) it went up, then it slowly went down to less than before. Moved back to BC (late 2000s) and it was more again, but not a ton. Just stating my experience I’ve been back in BC for quite awhile, I think what I pay is fair, around $120 a month now. Also yes I have liked there are rebates for sure that would bring down the monthly price but didn’t factor that in, I sort of forget what they were but maybe $100 or so, so close to a month’s payment. I always thought BC insurance was more fair overall even if I paid more sometimes. Think it was the premium for under 25 yr olds paid in Alberta that made it more for rather than actual claims needed which I sort of get but let people’s driving set the amount not necessarily their age.

Man, I get you’re down and all, but seriously look at random couples like people holding hands in public picss randomly but not necessarily the focus of the shots. People of all types find someone who wants to be with them. The attitude you have is unfortunately very unattractive but if you decide to be (and like) yourself and maybe not focus on the fact you haven’t found anyone but are open to meeting new people, it’ll probably happen.

You probably need some time to accept yourself who you are, enjoy your life and it’ll come out that you have many positive traits. Mean I don’t know you so I can’t say for 100% but standard attractiveness isn’t as big of a deal for many if they find someone they click with. It goes both ways of course, I may have not ended up with a model but I found someone kind, caring, funny and into many similar interests (maybe not all but that’s rare too) and we’ve been quite happy for many years.

In the end South Park sort of said it in the movie, chicks dig confidence (unsure if exact line). Not necessarily the confidence to be a jerk and and act like a douche but knowing yourself and being comfortable with who you are.
