Sorry I don't have time to comment on this,however if you go to occupy ns its all there...........Bottom line Frannie needs to be in charge and have control. Is it not time that the Canadian immigration took a stand and booted her sorry fat ass out of here? All she wants is a welfare state!
Francesca Rogier I'm thoroughly exhausted physically right now, so I may not say things very well or concisely, but I am just so astonished and dismayed by some of the people here who spent HOURS complaining, pre-judging, judging, and withholding, I cannot sleep. Did I miss it, or did nobody actually say they'd pitch in with a few bucks? Even those wishing Frenchy well, I have yet to see you put your money on the table, if you have any to spare.
Either you are willing to help out, or you are not; if not, skip the post and comment on something else. PLEASE. I truly wonder if any of you really intend to pitch in, or are only interested in grilling Frenchy, looking for a reason to dump on him if he happens to answer wrong. Others are interested more in elevating themselves by touting the wise choices they've made in their lives, as if to show they are certain are superior to Frenchy's choices.
The guy was humbly asking for help. Can you imagine dropping the judgement and helping out?? How reckless would that really be? It's Christmas in a few days! But any day of the year, really, what business is it of anybody else why he has two dogs, or whether he applied for assistance? Isn't that just a wee bit intrusive? Do you go around asking single moms why they are single and why they have kids, before you offer to help them? Offering to go with Frenchy to apply for welfare when he asked for help for his dogs - how really patronizing and condescending! Who can blame him for not buying that such talk is coming from a loving, respectful, and caring place.
Do people seeking help from fellow occupiers really need to fill
out an application now, with ID and sponsorship, or what?
Please, don't anybody offer to "facilitate" or ameliorate this discussion or my comments: there is no compassion whatsoever in withholding help til somebody answers a series of questions to your satisfaction, then agrees to a plan of action you think they should follow before you deign to give them a hand!! My god in frigging heaven, spare me!! Sure, some people do this, but it's not particularly compassionate and it sure ain't Christian. Imagine if the people donating all that clothing and money and food to Occupy NS were like this! We'd be in pretty sad shape, wouldn't we? We got thousands of dollars and it doesn't look like we even have a game plan, so don't be fussing about what Frenchy is doing by asking for a hundred or so to keep his dogs 1. ALIVE (safe from the cops) and 2. HEALTHY.
Frenchy is concerned about their health, which is a good thing. Did you all forget that up until yesterday, the cops were closing in on him day by day so they could take his dogs to an unknown fate?? All a few days before Xmas?? I only pointed out about six times that legislation says this is the job of animal services by-law officers, not HRM cops, and that it is not in the by-law to take such action, not to mention that only 95% of all HRM dogs are not tagged. Even the gas station attendant I talked to today knew this, but not many in this group seem to have processed it. WAKE THE HELL UP!!!
This is more police brutality and it is not pretty. When Frenchy got back to the Ark on Wednesday morning, the cops were waiting there to take his dogs. He happily pointed out the tags they are now wearing and one of the cops actually said "Fuck!" It makes me ill my property taxes are used to pay a bunch of sadists. The same sadists that have my dog locked up for over three years and smile at my pain and misery when I see her being trapped in the same building year after year, become old and ill - they smile and laugh!
The fact is that Frenchy's dogs are well-fed and well-liked, but even if they were not, I don't see any reason to withhold comfort and food from them, in fact, all the more reason to help out!
Frenchy just happens to be smart enough and savvy enough to know what he needs to do and is already doing it, but I did not stand around and make him jump through hoops before I decided to help him. All I needed to know was that the HRM cops were about to take his dogs and that he did not have the money to get the tags. That was enough; the rest rest was his business.
If you want some kind of guarantee that your charity won't go to waste - well, forget it! There are no guarantees in life. We all do the best we can. And if you think that's not good enough, fine, move on.
