My gender is my concern, but you may use any pronoun to refer to me
I’ll smoke crumbs from my 40 year old carpets before I pay taxes on weed after all those decades of gleeful persecution and prosecution. The things Fantino used to say about pot users in the newspaper, and now he’s a canabis magnate. Fuck that, it’s black market for life.
Some things, people cannot change, except by getting worse. Someone who is suffering from dementia, certain personality disorders, etc., may learn techniques to cope and even thrive, but there’s nothing that can restore lost brain function, or undo childhood developmental issues that fundamentally affect the brain.

You cannot have a discussion until you have done the basic research. Rather, you impose on others to educate you. That is different than having a meaningful discussion.
Of course they can. They just don’t do what their whip tells them to do once they have a majority. There is no constitutional rule that party leader has to be PM; there is not even recognition of parties per se.
The PM is like a mayor; they have no actual power (that doesn’t flow from the assembly). Theirs is the face of a legislative body. That body can choose anyone they wish to be their Prime Minister. Essentially, at any time. Parliament governs Canada, not the Prime Minister.
He should also consider drawing on a larger pool and not appointing only MPs as ministers, as remains legal to do. MPs can then concentrate on serving their constituents, as remains their responsibility.
what you think the conservatives will give you this?
what a bizarre, fragile response
There is no such thing as “ethical meat or dairy”, so no, I am not doing that. Is there a place where you can ethically obtain slaves? Of course not. Is there a place where you can ethically kill an individual that doesn’t want to die? No, no such place exists.
I made the assumption that they consume animals. You may feel free to attack that assumption.
That’s actually somewhat fair. It’s not entirely baseless. The basis for my claim is your previous statement that “most people don’t abuse animals.” This is factually incorrect, and easily disproved with just the scantest effort. It’s the sort of claim a person makes for the sake of moral license rather than for the sake of argument. To manage their own feelings rather than for how convincing it will be to others. Based on that, I made the assumption that you practice the sort of animal abuse I described in my previous comment. I don’t know for a fact that you consume factory farmed animals, but in the absence of further evidence to the contrary, I feel perfectly fine with that assumption. The conclusion that you are an animal abuser then becomes an unavoidable consequence.
I assure you, the net effect of capitalism is to turn people away from veganism.
99% of the animals consumed come from factory farms. Factory farms are necessarily abusive beyond the point of atrocity. You are an animal abuser. Either own it, or change.
Jesus. Okay. So when you say, “being short sighted”, you don’t literally mean the geometry of their eyes is myopic. You mean it figuratively. Exactly like the person you are correcting clearly means it figuratively when they say “short-term memory”.
Weird that they removed the reference to ESP32, one of the most common and widely known microcontrollers, from the headline.
People in glass houses, name caller.
Did you know that committing atrocity against chickens is in fact entirely optional? You can live a longer, healthier, wealthier life by simply not abusing animals.
Just open TikTok! Now your problem is solved, as well as mine.
Oh, BTC.
You people are fucked up. Literally brainwashed. This is what happens when people are trained from birth to be afraid of empathy so they never have to experience the pain of others. The dichotomy here isn’t whether or not to cut off power, it’s whether or not to do it in a planned way that permits people to not actually fucking die.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I am glad that legalization finally happened, and I do benefit from it. But the state and the capitalists that ultimately won/bought us legal weed (thanks?) don’t benefit from my addiction.
My concern is not an abstract one about taxation/theft, it’s about the disrespect of cannabis users slipping without a transition into the exploitation of cannabis users. I don’t know what exactly is going on, but my spidey senses say not to be involved in that.
