Politics? Free Will?

Let’s look at the legalization of pot as an example. Yes, they legalized it. There are storefront retail outlets selling it, and there’s no way in hell they can compete with the black market for pricing. There are still people using the government marijuana stores, because they are still a...

Ugh… I just can’t do the run on “no paragraph breaks” thing above, but: Five years before those comments, one of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s top officials, Ottmar Edenhofer, revealed a similar agenda in comments to Germany’s NZZ Online. “One must say clearly that we...

I’m guessing (ass/u/me, yeah, I know) that if someone can walk up to the counter at the “Drugs Store” & buy their 2.5 grams of Fentanyl/day, the surplus is going to end up being cut into the other drugs that will still be available in the the black market Street level that will not be competing...

“WASHINGTON — Aides to President Joe Biden have discovered at least one additional batch of classified documents in a location separate from the Washington office he used after leaving the Obama administration, according to a person familiar with the matter.” An interesting twist would be if...

Immigration rates were already hovering at historic highs when Trudeau first took power. The number of new Canadians coming in each year had steadily risen throughout the 2000s, ultimately peaking above 250,000 in 2015, the last year of the Conservative government of Stephen Harper. But that...

The ability to be a productive member of society, while consuming pot or alcohol is quite high. People can be casual users of alcohol or marijuana. The ability to be a productive member of society while on heroin or crack cocaine or meth or fentanyl is….questionable at best. I don’t think...

That was what was grabbed onto. It was back in 2012 so 10 years ago and it was Bev Oda with the Concervatives.

Remember it? It’s only a decade ago & one PM back.

It’s a scale. We have a bar 2 blocks from our house and not a big thing. We have a pot shop about 10 blocks from our house and again, not a big thing. I believe what they’re proposing in Vancouver is a different animal all together.

“The Drugs Store” is just going to be a retail outlet, with the staff wearing masks to hide their identities and bulletproof vests to get through their shifts ‘cuz they’re going to be creating the Z-Nation. Nimby or not, I wouldn’t want a “Drugs Store” (or it’s clientele) anywhere near me or mine.

500 years from now, if an archeologist digs up this shop teacher (assuming the coffin is not L-Shaped to accommodate the Amazon Bought Boobs), & using the tools available (DNA, Pelvic bone, etc…), is she going to identify this specimen as a he or a she (?) or does the self-identify thing just...

Honestly, I’m not surprised. For Poilievre, for some, it might be a case of “Even a broken clock is right twice a day” but he’s not wrong much of the time.

There’s a difference between Pot & Heroin (or Crack Cocaine or Fentanyl or Meth) though. Pot is pretty tame, & this other shit is bordering on evil. Who needs a daily ration of 2.5 grams of Fentanyl as a daily purchase when a portion the size of a grain of rice will kill the average person...

I hate to say it, but if it’s coming from the liberals, the West is gonna be super suspicious… due to history and Trudeau’s over time. Something like you’re describing would need to be gently incentivized by somebody in federal politics that’s not the Liberals. That & the fact that Alberta is...

You would have to be way more specific because there’s a whole Lotta retarded going on in the above post.

“Screw the West, we’ll take the rest,” has been the battle cry of the federal Liberals, ever since the late Liberal senator Keith Davey, co-chair of Pierre Trudeau’s successful 1980 election campaign, famously coined the phrase. Portraying Alberta as out of step with eastern Canada on...

With only three weeks to go before British Columbia’s decriminalization of hard drugs, a Vancouver man says he is already planning to open Canada’s first store selling crack, meth and heroin. Known as The Drugs Store, it would be a retail location selling hard drugs in quantities of 2.5 grams...

The number of bureaucrats working at the end of each fiscal year has jumped from 195,565 in 2015 to 254,309 in 2022 – a 30-per-cent increase compared to the Harper government’s nearly 10-per-cent decrease from 2010 to 2015….(2015 being the last year that Canada had a balanced budget…sorry, early...

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his party’s MPs will ask a parliamentary committee to study federal contracts given to the consulting firm McKinsey, following recent media reports describing a spike in awards to the company under the Liberal government. Poilievre’s call comes after...
