    This great news, finally a little expansion of OHIP services.  Hopefully, this leads to the eventually covering low-income people period.

    He is less popular than Trump.  He is also accused of obstruction of justice and shutting down committees...

    And like Trump both were given everything, seeing as Trudeau is trust fund baby...

    No, Trudeau's main opponent, Scheer, is more "the Big Don of the North". He plays a lot of the same kind of politics as Trump, appealing to the lowest common denominator, and seeking support from racists. But really, we don't have a Trump. Nobody does. Trump is "unique", lol.

    Just a few weeks back he said low income Canadians do not pay taxes...yes they do.  

    In Edmonton at a town hall meeting a few years back, he look at soldier (who lost his leg in service) and said “you are asking more than we give)...this from a clown who pledged 50 million via a tweet to Trevor Noah’s charity.

    There is a 1st nation reserve, Grassy Narrows, that has had there water supply contaminated by mercury in the 60’s and no government has fixed the problem...so last week at a 1500/person fundraiser for the liberal party, a grassy narrows resident bought a ticket for the fundraiser to protest, and as she was being escorted out by security, he arrogantly thanked her for  her donation to the liberal party of Canada.

    Those are my top 3 insults to Canadians from our trust fund spoiled pm...

    plus he gets 2 taxpayer paid nannies...the dude is a fucking millionaire.

    at least our previous pm was not insulting us weekly, did not ask us to fund his nannies and not taking tax payer funded vacations monthly...

    he also may be the 1st pm since the 30’s to be ousted after 1 term.

    and today he said politicians shouldn’t lie to Canadians...that’s all that d]fool does is lie...

    The previous pm was selling out Canada. He desperately needed to go and that was evident in the election results.

    He was a shmuck. Trudeau sucks, but he’s legalized marijuana and that was huge.

    Metro Vancouver gas prices hit all-time high

    https://globalnews.ca/news/5130247/vancouver-gas-price-record-3/?fbclid=IwAR2jKxlEwcdIxZCM-KCh75GWKKpaXF0wKVnOqI0fcj_sw4Po7LeZas1Xcgc

    LMFAO...

    Trudeau did not legalize Cannabis.  He tried to create another tax revenue for the government and has failed miserably at that.  It's still prohibition 2.0.  Why do you think people continue to get medical scripts for Medicinal Cannabis?

    The black market continues to thrive and will continue to thrive in the near future, maybe forever.

    Trudeau and the federal Liberals legalized cannabis. Doesn’t matter one bit if you don’t like how they did it, it’s folly for you to deny that they did. 

    There’s a black marker for cigarettes - does that mean they’re illegal? There’s a black market for alcohol - same for that, too, I guess.

    I'm going to assume you know Scheer would be giving big breaks to his friends.
    I think you need to vote Green or some other independent party dude, if you want to stand behind your criticisms of the current government. Voting Conservative is going to make you a big hypocrite.

    He also got doctor assisted suicide legalized, which is even huger.
    He also saved the lives of tens of thousands of Syrians, which I'm very glad about.

    In Vancouver $10/g is completely standard in illegal dispensaries.
    So I want to know just how fucking cheap you have to be to get upset about paying only  $10/g. In the 90s a gram cost $15, and 1/8 was always $45. ALWAYS. Weed is way cheaper now than it used to be where I'm from!
    Anyway, do you have a point with your whining about legalization? I mean, it's not going to be reversed. What is it you want, exactly? Whatever it is, it's Ford you should be bitching about.

    I pay $3.99/gram, 20-25% THC depending when I buy.  I have never paid more than 7/gram.  Of course, they need to charge 10/g in BC if they are operating bricks and mortar store...unless the owner is shacked up in the back of the store for his living accommodations.

    But that's also the beauty of the medicinal cannabis community, a lot of medicinal suppliers of cannabis offer a great product at a reduced priced for low-income earners.  Or should low-income earners be denied there medicine because of the price?  There was a Cannabis lounge that gave away free Cannabis for donations of your choice...but it was shut down under Trudeau's Cannabis laws...The only crime he was committing was giving away a product that is overpriced and overtaxed by the government...and he was helping local charities.

    I think I've said this before: I think you should try and employ a little patience on this subject. The industry still has a lot of change to go through. Something like this inevitably takes time to work itself out, for laws to adjust (by province remember) to correct mistakes, etc etc. My god, when it first legalized in Washington, 1/8 was going for up to $80! :lol: The market worked itself out - it's now affordable. Meanwhile, you do indeed have access to the illegal market if you so choose. I'm not sure why you're so bent out of shape about it TBH, since you're the first one to point out that anyone can just turn to an easily accessibly black market still.

    Kenney outlines pipeline war plan during campaign stop in Fort McMurray

    https://edmontonsun.com/news/provincial/kenney-outlines-pipeline-war-plan-during-campaign-stop-in-fort-mcmurray?fbclid=IwAR1vl5NMEodKbV2huwiOu3yqGEG-rX4JBqbSJzspToG3owVKmyZx_PS3MbE

    Reacting to news that gas prices in Metro Vancouver reached as high as $1.64 per litre on Monday, Kenney promised “that’s just an appetizer.”

    “The mayor of Vancouver says he… wants a carbon-free Vancouver by 2040,” said Kenney “If he blocks our oil, we can give him a carbon-free Vancouver by 2020.”

    LOL.  Who says Canadian politics are boring...
