You will NOT believe what happened in Conception Bay South, b'y.
Whaddya at, b'y — this is St. John's, oldest city in North America, and we're still here. Let's go.
### They took your land and resold it? Seriously?
I'll tell ya one thing, b'y, when I heard about da Stapleton family in Conception Bay South, my jaw near hit da floor. Can you imagine? You get your land expropriated, you move on wit' your life, you drive by da old spot, maybe wit' a lump in your throat thinkin' 'bout da memories, and den what do you see? A brand new house goin' up! On your land! Da one dey took from you! It's enough to make ya wanna march right up to da Rooms and demand an explanation. Dat's not how we do things 'round here, b'y. It's like finding out someone sold your favourite pew at da Basilica, only worse, 'cause it was your home.
It just goes to show ya, even in our little corner of da world, you gotta keep an eye on things, eh? You think you're safe once da government steps in, but den you find out dey might just be flipping your old homestead like it's a house on Water Street. Good on da Stapletons for speakin' up. Dis ain't some back alley deal on George Street after a few too many screech-ins; dis is people's lives and their land. We're a small place, b'y, and word travels fast, especially when somethin' like dis happens. Dis is why we gotta look out for each other, 'cause sometimes, da powers dat be, dey just forget dere's real people behind all da paperwork.
