    FIRST LINE: CANNABIS IS NOW LEGAL. 

    Technically it's legal, but I agree with Meltdown99, it's heavily regulated.   Here in BC we often make fun of it being legalized, because there's so much more rule, regulations, and enforcement than when it was outright illegal.. lol.
    regulated does not mean illegal. almost everything is regulated to some degree.

    What does everyone think of the campaign protesters?
    I am not a JT fan, but things are getting ridiculous. I’m all for people's right to protest but do it in a respectful manner. Does not make me want to support the party these people are representing(if they even are) 
    society in general is changing for the worst unfortunately 
    The 'protestors' I saw were despicable. And I can understand people being upset and acting dumb... but I was seeing this being done in front of children and some children joining in.  Reminds me way too much of Trump supporters to be honest. 

    The other thing I loathe about these anti-Trudeau folk is their lack of intelligence.  They blame Trudeau for things that Ford was responsible for.  If you're gonna chirp the guy, make sure the chirp makes sense.

    Legal and regulated are two different things. 

    I'm trying to think of anything that happens outside of my home.. and some things inside my home... that are not regulated one way or another by some level of government.

    Actually, cows farting are an issue.  Because so much of our diet comes from animals (like cows), there's so many of them due to our food needs, that cow farts a top producer of methane on the earth :(

    I would say minuscule . Annamie Paul will likely be ousted by her own party after this election.
    The better bet would be the Libs getting rid of Trudeau and promoting Chrystia Freeland to leader.
    I am not a Conservative supporter (too many Rempel types) but have always respected Lisa Raitt

    Liberal candidate allowed to run for re-election despite past claims of inappropriate behaviour




    These racist, misogynistic liberals under Mr. Blackface have no morals.  Sadly.

    I’ve read on these boards about how the left hold their own accountable…yeah right.

    the left, just like the right only care about power…so they can line their pockets.

    seems you don't understand what being held accountable means. it doesn't always mean losing your job. it can also mean learning from your mistakes, apologizing, and correcting that behaviour.

    I tend to agree.  Plus we as voters have the ultimately say in keeping someone accountable, as we have the power to fire them.

    Well sort of.  That really only works if the other options aren't as bad.. lol.  If you were apply for a higher up executive job there's probably quite the vetting process, and a bunch of candidates.   Government, a few people run, and it's more of a popularity contest :(

    I'm sure there's a pretty extensive vetting process for leader of a national party as well (as we've seen, it obviously doesn't uncover everything though). I still prefer our process over the US. I can't imagine how much I'd hate the 2-3 year cycle of primaries and then the election. 6 weeks is enough for me. lol

    Just watched Ford's vaccine passport announcement.   

    For all the bad Trudeau is... and there is lots....  Ford proves what a lot of us on the forum have been saying... Liberal or Conservative... they're all greasy, dooshy, lying politicians.

    LPC platform 78 billion in new spending and only 25 billion in new revenue…this is what happens when you elect a racist, misogynist trust fund baby that has never worked a day in his life…
