About Me
Downside of small towns
Small town politics can get frustrating at times. Life-long rivalries between people or the mindsets of a family or group can be challenging.
I also have a hard time with people who think they're stuck or hindered by living in rural Manitoba and can't do anything but focus on the negative aspects. They talk about marketing troubles for their businesses because they live in the country. They see everything as a limitation rather than looking at opportunities.
I think people view living in rural Manitoba as a hindrance far too often.
