Title "Try Me" , original oil paint,
Strength isn’t something you build when conditions are perfect.
It shows up when nothing is in your favor and you keep going anyway.
It’s over. They just don't know it yet.
You take that first step forward, not with a shout, but with the steady, unstoppable weight of a landslide.
There is no more "maybe," no more "we’ll see." There is only the Work. And the Work is to finish this. Duck Around and Find Out!!

This is for the moments the noise stops.
The air doesn't just get cold; it gets heavy. Your problems have been chipping away at you, testing the fence, moving the goalposts, mistaking your patience for a lack of spine.
Your problems are still pecking, still talking, still posturing, still trying to "win" a moment that has already passed. They don't realize that the outcome was decided the second you stopped caring about their opinion and started focusing on the task.
It’s the sound of the gears finally locking into place. You look them in the eye, and for the first time, they see it. The "cocky grin" isn't for them; it’s for you. It’s the look of a craftsman who just picked up their favorite tool.
The boundary has been crossed, the seal has been broken, and now, the bill has come due.
You feel that familiar, gritty texture as you grind your teeth. Not out of stress, but as a calibration.
They thought they were playing a game of attrition, but didn't realize you weren't retreating; you were just finding your footing.
You don’t feel the heat of anger anymore. That’s been burned away, replaced by a cold, clarity. This isn't about revenge; it’s about restoration.
@nspowerinc 15 hours and counting. Aside from the corrupt leadership. The line workers and crews who are doing double duty to help restore things deserve a huge hand of support. Thank you to them. But the corrupt leadership pilfering dollars that are needed for updates.. none
Well done @nspowerinc 130000 people without power due to you inadequate management of the resources we pay you to maintain. Here's to Monopolies! #Halifax
@nspower reliability is awful. 2024 (excl. major storms): SAIDI 5.26 hrs (target ≤4.29), SAIFI 2.75 (target ≤2.05). No target met since 2020. We're paying for 'guaranteed' returns while outages drag on. Time for real grid upgrades, not excuses.⚡😤 #NSPower#Halifax#NovaScotia
Common @nspowerinc just a little more fail and you will have done it. 10%of the population without power because you, as a corrupt company, fail at the 1 job. Provide consistent power.
Nearing 10% of the population of NS affected by a snow event of less than 30cm. @nspowerinc is a corrupt company feasting on Nova Scotians hard earned dollars.
@nspowerinc Peter makes in excess of 1.7million per year. What a CEO! I don't say it often but the government of Nova Scotia could do a better job managing the power than this clown.
@nspowerinc What the hell is with Nova Scotia Power? A little bit of snow cripples the grid!!! Outages across the province this morning. Heaven forbid we have a bit of sunlight. The grid might catch fire from the brightness!!
@TimHoustonNS We also need to know why the expense is so high for the most unreliable product. A faint wind blows any the province is crippled by power outages.
