I thought I would make a thread for bitching & moaning about your problems in life.
I'll start...
There's toxic mold in my house and it's going to cost maybe $8000 to fix the damage and replace some windows.
My basement flooded last week from a storm (unrelated to mold).
Got a $800 ambulance bill.
Chronic back pain.
High blood pressure.
Ran over a blown tire at 70 mph yesterday and damaged the fender on my car.
My truck is leaking oil.
Had to pay $300 in vet bills for my cat.
Gasoline is $3.90/gallon.
Food is expensive as fuck now.
I have ants all over the kitchen.
My wife's crackhead uncle got out of prison and hangs around my in-laws house all the time.
My abdomen keeps twitching and I think I might have some kind of disease or nerve problem.
I'm getting fat.
Could be worse though.

I never noticed there is a bitching section. I dont go in the sections that dont have the "green icon" much.

But LPG is common in NL, while here nobody drives with LPG fueled cars.60 cent / litre is an awesome price.

may be, but the taxes are extreme on LPG cars, so they are only cheaper when you travel a lot by car(More than the average family).

The pull chain for the light on my cieling fan broke and it's my only source of light in this room. You never realize how much you love light when you need it the most, trying to find work cloths with the light of my computer monitor is a pain.

They just introduced a new carbon tax too. Like paying taxes on taxes on gas isn't enough. 2.4 cents per liter and going to g to 7.2 cents by 2012. That is about 27.3 cents per gallon in US terms. I have no problem with paying a carbon tax expect that is pisses me off that it always comes out of the consumers pockets when big companies and corporations, like oil companies make RECORD profits. I swear global greed is going to wipe up all out.
Our cars cost about 25% more then US. It is cheeper for canadians to buy their cars in the US.

that article is exactly what I am talking about.
They are tring to peddle it as revenue neutral or some bullshit like that.
It is esp. hard on the Northern people who have no access to transit. Places like St Johns up in Northen BC. It is like minus something 30?. They have to pay more to heat their homes and Need SUV's and 4x4 trucks. No way of driving in the snow.
They are calling it
Also even here they expect people to take transit but where I live the bus only comes every 30 min and sometimes it is so full you can't get on. It takes me about 1.5 hrs at least to reach d/t using bus and skytrain. Any housing you find around the skytrain is super expensive to rent.
Maybe they don't want to to drive as much but if they actually inproved the roads, built more lanes (we only have 1 in each direction) and built another bridge from Surrey cars wouldn't be stuck in traffic idling.
I drive to the skytrain and take that if I am going downtown but the crack heads are always camped out at the parking machines intimidating people for change. Usually only 1 machine even works because the crackheads break them. The parking lot is extraemly full and sometimes it took me 20 mins to even get a spot. The cars are always getting broke into as well.
Our transit tickets go up every year.
A 3 zone pass is $5 one way. $10 a day for most people.

exactly. and the fact that this shit is being exclusively promoted by the so-called 'liberal' party and green party speaks volumes.

The Northern communities are challanging it based on discrimination of their location.

hmm I am going to pity myself solely on the basis that my life isn't so bad as to warrant self pity
