Whitby is the town I live in, and I'm assuming most of my readers live in. It's a cesspool of a suburb of Toronto. It's filled with useless conservatives who would gladly shoot anyone who's different. In fact, teen residents call it "White-by," because everyone's white and probably racist.
There's absolutely nothing here, other than Wal-Mart and row after row of houses. We actively try to destroy any hope this town could have, by gutting our only mall, decimating a local wetland to put up (surprise surprise) suburbs, and closing down a hospital. Yes, we have 100 000 people, but no hospital. AND WE KEEP VOTING IN THE GUY WHO IS DOING ALL THESE HORRIBLY DUMB THINGS. Whitby-ites disgust me. We used to be the good alternative to neighbouring Oshawa, but now, we are just as bad, if not worse. At least they have a mall.
Yeah, I can't believe I said "at least they have a mall." I don't even like the mall, but it's a beautiful alternative to endless concrete. My section of suburbia actually has a park, which is quite remarkable when we are actively raping any section of green land to make useless houses. We built a courthouse right next to a courthouse!! I was impressed when I went to Toronto and could actually buy CDs from bands that aren't Britney Spears or Eminem for less than $30. This is not right at all. No wonder everyone is hooked on drugs.
Every adult male appears to be a cutthroat capitalist pig who only cares about making money and screwing over everyone else. These are the kinds of people who were horrible at school, but got by because of their rich parents and/or backstabbing ways. Their wives are the equivalent of the high school cheerleader who's grown up to be horribly ugly, but they're too co-dependent to leave her. They all have 2 kids, and one of those godforsaken SUVs. This is Whitby! It isn't the outback! You don't need an SUV, even if you have to compensate for something!
Their kids are spoiled. They all have cellphones for some reason, ugly blonde streaks in their hair, and fit into some sort of horrible stereotype, be it prep, jock, wigger, punk, goth, etc. I blame it on the fact that their parents grew up during the hellish 80's, and have raised them with the spirit of that money-grubbing decade. They all organize parties at their houses, then babble about all the drugs they've done and the people they've "got some" with. It's often quite difficult to not plant some sort of carbomb.
There are strong local movements to introduce prayer and uniforms in public schools. Yes, let's single out the sinners - it isn't OUR daughters getting knocked up, it must be those other non-Christian kids. And making your son take off his baggy pants and put on some horrible rich-boy outfit will save all of those bad parenting mistakes you've made, that's for sure.
Our local paper, the Whitby This Week, is horribly conservative. Maybe I should submit this web page to them? They'd probably run a whole article - "Oh no! Our teens are losing faith in the Conservatives!" - just because nothing else ever happens. Of course, they'd have to fit it in between 12 articles (thinly veiled editorials with no actual facts) bashing the liberals.
This is why I am getting out of this town as soon as humanely possible. I don't care if I have to pay thousands of dollars a day to live in overcrowded Toronto - it's worth it to be free of this town forever. Every day, Whitby crushes a little bit of my will to live...but in return, I will crush a little bit of their will to live.
Mark my words - Whitby will one day pay for all they have done.
