Josh Thompson Reports from Mountain Park School
Ms. Rutland’s Gr.9 Social Studies Class in Calgary, AB
Today in the 2002 Yosif Town Hall meeting there was absolutely no progress made. The citizens either suggested problems, or constantly tried to promote a dictatorship! Nobody showed any interest in finding solutions to the problems discussed, and it was a very chaotic first meeting with the Conservatives in power.
There were accusations made: the Prime Minister was accused of giving people the password, the three apartment owners were accused of planning to kick everyone out of their apartments so people would die, and another accusation that someone given the government password was offering to sell it. A pretty rough start to the Conservative’s reign in power.
There was only one or two legitimate grievances relating to the game, while the rest were either comments about who Yosif’s “Gossip Girls” were, or rumours (just a reminder citizens, rumours are not true facts), and, if there was a legitimate concern, someone would always comment about how we should all vote for the W.A.N.D.P. (We Are Not a Dictatorship Party) Is this what Yosif is coming to?A place where 90% of the citizens want a dictator party?
Your government has actually done a really good job! You don’t have any idea how good you all have it. You have actually had some pretty good governments. A big shout out to the patience of our Conservative government, who went through a pretty frustrating ordeal today, as well as our town hall moderator, Tahany K, who showed extreme patience as well, even though some people purposely tried to make her angry and frustrated. This year’s town hall has been a frustrating experience for Yosif. Perhaps next year’s town hall will be more effective…
Very well said, Josh. So frustrating when citizens become apathetic about their government and no longer fight for accountability and logic!
