The "LOLCANADA" thread...again
So what's new?
I've noticed the Liberals are now ahead in all major polls and Trudeau hasn't even started to campaign yet...i'd be shocked if they lost the election now.
Just shows just how incompetent Conservatives are.
THE GIFT KEEPS GIVING!!!!!!
Shifty - a decades long user of one drug - in a stunning display of hypocrisy want the Big Government to jump to his side and ban the drugs he doesn't use.
Have you considered that you aren't actually the far right PPC/MAGA loving guy you pretend to be, and actually what you want is Big Government to paternalistically ban everything that isn't your own personal choice drug of use?

No luck googling to eh. Can't even find one news article of a crime being committed while a person was under the influence of nicotine?
Shifty if you understand why banning knives is a dumb way to address stabbing you understand the same applies to everything that has legitimate uses

What legitimate uses do recreational weed and alcohol have?
Except we know prohibition works for weed and alcohol. Car crashes, domestic violence, ER visits, assaults, impaired driving, murders, etc. all substantially decrease without the use of alcohol and weed.

Lol, it's hilarious you think this is some gotcha. But I guess this is the logic of a supposed right wing person who is totally ok with Big Government coming in to ban the drugs he doesn't personally consume. No, shifty, not all drugs have the same profile of harms. That doesn't save you from being a complete hypocrite.

When you say a hypocrite would believing that climate change is a moral responsibility to our kids and grandkids important but no concern for the debt we hand them would that be hypocritical?
Cigarettes also have serious health effects as well as the cause of a large % of forest fires and lets not get into second hand smoke

Criminal organizations is a problem and those thing would still happened because people still drink wine for some thousands years already .
No , prohibition wasn’t working that is why they stop it.
(Why mafia wasn’t much of a problem pre prohibition if it was so bad for criminal organizations?
I’m glad we live in a democracy that wants freedom not too much government in our life .
You welcome to move to Saudi Arabia and China .
Seem you love those places .
Ps: u live in lalaland if you believe stronger, more violent black market and counterfeited alcohol would not re-emerge with banning them .
That’s what human do when governments goes too far …

Yikes that is one tortured metaphor. We were comparing gala apples to golden delicious. You just compared apples to, uh, uh, uh, barbie dolls?
Comparing different types of recreational drugs ordinary people in our society regularly consume is a decent comparison. It is hilarious hypocritical for Shifty to be in favour of banning some of those while opposing even mild regulations on the other. You're not getting from there to climate change and debt lol.
Hey shifty it’s really easy .
Are u in favour of banning guns too ?
If wine is so dangerous why not guns ?
You're an alcoholic that thinks it's ok to drive with a few beers. Net negative to society.
Why have any laws? Life isn't safe anyway so who cares.
It’s just a facts 1 or 2 beer over like a freakn night of a couple hours don’t affect your driving .
Do you actually know how to drive ?
Yes gambling as addictive effect for many even if it’s just for enjoyment like wine and both can have dire consequences for families etc when those addictions goes too far .
That is what addictions do !
As for your last point , yes we know , conservative line you can only see black and white thinking we live in a binary world .
But guess what , the world and people are far more able to see nuances and compromises the you .
Life is a bit more complicated then 1 and 0
Ps: if you becomes violent because you drink 1-2 beer or smoke 1 joint and do illegal acts shifty , well maybe it’s you the problem ..
Why don’t you fix your problem before imoosing stuff too is you can’t control he ?
Funny you don’t want government to give handout to people to help them but hey to prevent people to do stuff for your problem is all good ?

He I am for booze, cigarettes and drugs for adults but also believe if you choose to do illegal drugs we shouldn't spend a dime (other than rehab) to save you from a overdose
So watching Question Period yesterday and the one Liberal insider on the panel says with Justin at the helm they have liberal inside polls having them win 12-14 seats only . That is mind boggling from 9 years ago.
More and more Liberal MP's are going public . I do not know how anyone would stay in leadership based on those numbers.
Id be curious if the new leader keeps the carbon tax policy?
So realistically are we looking at a April election?
Were am I wrong you posted your own quotes
Im not sure how who it is owed to matters you still need to make the interest payments and they keep growing and growing .
We disagree on Justin on his debt. Not sure how you can defend a man that promised a balanced budget before Covid and racked up more debt than all the PM's before him
I do agree with you provincial debt should not factor into the total JT has no control of that
We have many that say debt doesn't matter like Montreal but all you need to do is look at the interest payments that each country is making and were that money actually can go.
We cam all post numbers like the poorest state in the USA has a higher median income than all the provinces but it comes down to affordability and how folks feel
I Will give you a chance to explain to me how saying « canada is fine » Translate to me thinking « debt do not matter »?
Bolded parts .
When it’s his own citizen/institution that owns the debt in canadian dollar , we just can print the Money and/or the BoC do QE buying it out .
When its foreigners its usually in US dollars , and we cant print that kind of money .
Wa have no Control on interest rates either on the US dollar , just our currency.
It changes a lot on things .
Yes COVID was like a ww2 event around the world .
Yes debt went up a lot but so is the economy , so relatively it s fine .
And yes , no predecessor or Trudeau ever face a situation where his economy and the rest or the world was shut down !
None , ever !
So yes its kind of normal facing that kind of situation Will bring different outcome from history.
To say otherwise is just dumb .
So all left is to compare again with the rest of the world currently and we did ok.
But i know you will Forget this in 12 hours and return to your usual narrative….
Criminal organizations is a problem and those thing would still happened because people still drink wine for some thousands years already .
You're an alcoholic. Alcohol consumption dropped dramatically during prohibition. Luckily alcohol consumption is decreasing, particularly in younger generations. Mostly thanks to the internet and fitness trackers like WHOOP, Garmin, etc.
Lol, it's hilarious you think this is some gotcha. But I guess this is the logic of a supposed right wing person who is totally ok with Big Government coming in to ban the drugs he doesn't personally consume. No, shifty, not all drugs have the same profile of harms.
Yes exactly! It's is why say fentanyl is illegal, are for decriminalization of all drugs? The harms from legal weed are bad, it was a mistake to legalize it. Experiment over.
No, a hypocrite is someone that is fine with legal weed ads targeting youth awhile thinking getting berry flavored 4mg nicotine pouches out of gas stations is common sense.
lol at the decades long nicotine user accusing anyone else of being an addict
Hypocrisy all around

What legitimate use does chocolate have?
Stabbings go to 0 if you ban all knives.
Shifty try your "logic" with meat consumption and "climate change" and you are laying the work for the marxist environmentalists to ban meat consumption.
Just stop asking for the state to interfere with private lives even if statistically that can change things.
Freedom is individual and you shouldn't think of limiting everyone freedom so that some people who are bad at life will behave better if you do.
That's what the left does and that's what is making our countries hell these days.
Many become obese because of un-necessary eating of stuff that tastes good with all that entails (which is a lot worse than alcohol damage in society).
If you ban all tasty food far less people would be obese. Same logic as yours.
Alcohol is a religious element for some, an identitarian element for many people (I am Italian for example and alcohol is a fundamental part of our culture), and it has millions of daily use cases without damaging any third parties, including celebrations of important moments and whatnot.
If you personally don't find any enjoyment in it that's your problem not mine. Many millions of people do find enjoyment in it and that's all that matters to keep allowing them to do so and stop attempting to mess with other people lives like a leftist would
Shifty try your "logic" with meat consumption and "climate change" and you are laying the work for the marxist environmentalists to ban meat consumption.
No I'm not.

It's not peoples private lives, that's the issue. Prohibition forced the degenerates underground. Now you can walk downtown in a city mid afternoon and watch people vomit on the side walk outside of the bar or see people smoking weed broad daylight in their vehicle.
Wrong. The left is in favor of lawlessness and decriminalization of drugs and have destroyed cities (SF, LA, Philly, etc. They want people drunk, stoned, fat and unhealthy.
