[Canadian Politics] No, we're never going to stop talking about pot legalization.

I think it makes sense. They aren't allowed to market at all to minors so if they were to allow in children everything would have to be locked behind counters. It's already enough of a restricted experience. We don't need even more.
As said above, if you're stuck with the kids just order online.
April, 2018 - How did one of Ontario’s first legal pot stores end up next to a Toronto public school?
Today - Ford breaks promise to keep pot stores away from schools
And meth labs aren't legal yet.
I haven't been able to convince myself that making that trip would be worthwhile yet, and haven't been willing to do online sales.
This wasn't quite the reaction I expected from legalization

It seems to basically be arguing whether or not the police can be held responsible for not being aware of the laws they're trying to enforce?
I do think the SCC needs to hear that one if just because that whole thing is some amazing BS.
Its about whether the police officer acted negligently enough that a civil suit should find damages for. If a police officer arrests someone who is later found not guilty of a crime, it is generally not grounds for a civil suit unless there was some negligent or malicious intent involved. The question is whether arresting someone for a crime the officer believes exists but actually does not exist hit that threshold of negligence. As noted above, it'll probably hinge on the reasonableness of the officer's belief that the hypothetical law existed (probably on whether close laws exist that apply in similar circumstances, but not this particular one).
You can basically use your hand and the lip of it as a grinder by crushing nugs against it. Quality wise these flowers are perfect for breaking up and throwing in a jay, and because of the short papers they have in the store those jays fit back in the 8th bottle.
I've been cruising on some pink kush that's been serving me well as a volume weed, I've got some delehaze that I'm hoping just fuckin obliterates my face tomorrow night.

I remember when I had a friend on Facebook (RL friend too) who jumped in to argue with me that Conservative criticism of Sajjan was not racist, and that she, as a brown person, did not need people defending brown people from such criticism, and that I was the real racist for thinking that criticism of Sajjan was motivated by racism, and then I cut off all ties and blocked her stupid ass because she was being a completely annoying troll while also being completely totally wrong.
I'm just saying this here to try and deal with my desire to make a real big, "I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO, I WAS FUCKING RIGHT" post on my Facebook.

In this case, it's not really the expense that's the big issue (although it certainly wasn't a cheap endeavour), so much as what happened on the flight. It was supposed to be taking some VIPs to visit overseas troops to boost morale, but things got rowdy and Tiger Williams allegedly sexually assaulted someone. Here's the article from the tweet: https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/sajjan-deputy-minister-dig-a-deeper-hole-for-themselves-on-337000-party-flight
Of course, now any further investigation or queries will be tainted with the "dis wut hapen wen u put brwon guy in charge uv militery" stink the Okanagan Tories decided to put on it
As a brown person, your friend may have a point in that not all criticism of a brown person is only because they are brown. It may indeed be because that person is instead a stupid ass.
This particular tweet by the Okanagan Conservatives is NOT one of those situations. This was a cheap shot by racists.
VIP entertainment got drunk on a government flight, and acted inappropriately. The government did not run to the press with all the details, this means they aren’t as transparent as the press would like.

Let's not re-frame the discussion here.
And if y'all could do me a favour and not completely explode this thread until after my choir concert tomorrow afternoon, I have the images ready for the next OP.
Sorry, wasnt trying to reframe the discussion, I was curious if the Liberals had actually done anything to merit the article in the first place.
As far as the blatant racism, its not just this article, and its not just the BC Conservative group.
This defense minister is becoming a boogeyman among most of the Canadian far right. They are also blaming him for making racial divides because he was one person among many to condemn the ‘Its okay to be white’ signs that were posted all over Canadian University campuses a couple weeks ago.
For the more subtle racism, you have to wonder why the Ottawa Citizen chose his photo for the story, when he had nothing to do with the incident.

Thanks for posting that.
Found it super interesting and something we should look into for younger high school age kids.
Thanks a whole fucking bunch.
(This policy--of no longer supporting gender identity theory, obvs, not the initial support--was sponsored by Tanya Granic Allen, a PC party leadership candidate who said gay marriage made her want to vomit.
Her support was a major contributor to Doug Ford winning the PC Party leadership race )
Perhaps I can interest you in my meager selection of pins?
Good thing Ontario doesn't have a significant Francophone population or anything, eh.

I was -easily- the youngest person there (except for staff) by 15-20 years, and I'm 33.
Remembering my conservative in-laws saying that legalization was pointless, no one's going to buy from the government, and it'll all be young people anyways, and laughing as I look at the 3 remaining strains that they have, which they only seem to have because they're the most expensive.

This town's a big pile of Issues but occasionally it's alright.
It's a non-binding resolution, probably specifically so they can't get challenged in courts on it. Basically showmanship to score points with what's left of their base since their popularity is already tanking.
(Of course, doing that legislatively and then NWCing it once challenged would have the same result. Yay for pandering to authoritarian bigots!)
Yes. A lot of the earlier criticism of Sajjan has also been racist in origin. The spat I blew up with my friend about was over Conservatives heckling him while he talking, saying that they needed an "English to English translator" to understand Sajjan.
Which... look, a lot of ministers and MPs - from all parties - deserve to be criticized for their gobbledegook. But if Sajjan was white and not francophone - or hell, I dunno about these Conservatives, they might even cross that line - I seriously doubt they'd be heckling him with such specific language. They'd say he's talking nonsense, isn't saying anything, call him a liar, whatever. But reaching for a "translator" heckle to hurl at a visible minority - even if was subconscious and incidental - I'm not giving an inch on that being racist, or at least appears sufficiently racist as to be indistinct.
... honestly, I think part of it is because it's defense. I think Canadian conservatives are more likely to be at peace with a (full-term, elected) female/minority Prime Minister than Minister of Defense. That's a heterosexual white male's "domain."
Rob would be so proud.
