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.
It tastes good, it let's a lot of introverts become more social among many other positive effects that people like.
Again what does meat do, if you talk with someone who hates the taste? You are not different from a crazy leftist who wants to ban meat consumption because "the climate" and "the poor cows in factory farming"
Shifty the countries with the best health outcomes all have structural identitarian consumption of alcohol in their cultures (Italy Spain France Japan come to mind) and alcohol bans are typical only of Muslim majority countries, and anti western at their core (and as such, leftist at their core).
The history of the west is the history of alcohol, you can't like our cukture if you don't like alcohol being a part of it.
Our best literature and architecture (by far the best in world history) has been written and built by people who consumed outrageous amounts of alcohol.
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.
Only in the beginning it drop sharply , then it went up again to a around a 70% level pre prohibition but why ?
It’s illegal ,
prices went up (harder to access like cigarettes today with higher taxes),
quality was worst obv (dangerous for consumption big increase through death poisoning ) ,
violence in cities went up ( criminal organizations) ,
corruption went up (never heard al Capone story?) ,
Etc.
If it was such a great success why they stop it ?
Ps: yup I rarely drink alcohol (only special occasion like birthdays, Christmas, etc)!so that makes me an alcoholic lol.
Or maybe just because I’m not a users of something , I still respect personal freedom , like I do with people who smoke while im not a smoker …
But it’s good to know your just a fake fighter for personal freedom .
You are not better then those woke (or theocrats ) trying to ban freedom for other stuffs under the rubric -> for the greater good because I know what’s best for all ..
I must say u must love China , no idea why you blasted Trudeau so much when u compare him many time of Chinese dictator of somekind
Doesn’t matter .
Guns creates more crimes, that is why criminals uses it right ?
You really think criminals will use wine instead of a guns to commit a crime ????
Heres another way to see it .
Who’s more dangerous :
- a violent drunk person with no gun
- a violent sober person with a gun
?
I really didn't have on my christmas secret santa list Shifty coming out as Big Government wanting government to ban all the drugs but for the one he personally uses.
But I am ALL for it. Can you do that bit again where you supposedly have made up my stance on, uh, checks notes, apparantly supporting weed-ads targetting kids (aren't most weed ads already restricted?). Who knows. But it is sure is hilarious. I definitely want to hear more about how it is "sad" that the government restricts nicotine from easy access marketed for kids but that they should ban everything else for everyone of all ages.
Don't worry, Shifty is just projecting his own drug dependency on anyone, everyone else.
Yeah to make believe wine is more an health concern and « danger » to society then cigarettes , just because his a cigarette addict , is a bit funny .
Or maybe shifty won the Nobel price by discovering that in reality , wine with all its « danger » (discounting its medical benefits) was one of the main responsible reason of wars and calamities in the world .
Being consume so freely for such a real long time , we just missed it ?
But I am ALL for it. Can you do that bit again where you supposedly have made up my stance on, uh, checks notes, apparantly supporting weed-ads targetting kids (aren't most weed ads already restricted?). Who knows.
Just to clarify. You support a berry flavored nicotine pouch ban and restricted mint flavored because it's marketing to kids. But support legalized weed even though it's being marketed towards kids.
Can you find an article of kids being sent to the psych ward because they took a 4mg berry pouch?
legalized weed definitely made weed less common among kids
It tastes good, it let's a lot of introverts become more social among many other positive effects that people like.
Drink non-alcoholic, the market is booming. I'm not a psychologist but pretty sure the recommended treatment for introverts isn't getting drunk.

No, it's not the same. This all started because I said Trudeau legalizing Weed was a mistake. Then the weed heads, alcoholics and shitlibs lost their minds. We have data, places where weed is still illegal are better, it was a failed experiment.
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
I have no idea why you are trying to mash like four completely separate issues into one bizarre whataboutism attempt. Like we can work on more than one issue at once. Why do you think I have "no concern" for generational debt loads? The carbon tax I support is DEFICIT NEUTRAL. Are you just completely making random **** up?
Smoking weed has dropped a lot in the last 7 years, but edibles have gone up so its a sort of compositional change. Of course the weedpocalypse that Shifty pathetically tries to pretend has happened is a figment of his imagination (not the same as saying zero issue of course)

LMAO THE GIFT KEEPS GIVING.
Like I get that you well never manage to evade the hypocrisy of trying to get the drugs you don't use banned while being being "sad" that government has mere restrictions - not bans - on child-friendly nicotine products at convenience stores. But you don't have to make stuff up. You don't have to pretend that I'm somehow on team market-weed-to-kids. It's a GREAT thing that the Liberal law (thanks Trudeau!) explicitly prohibits advertising marijuana products to kids. Now maybe I'd team up with your googled link's author in trying to make that law even firmer - but you are the guy who thought restrictions were "sad" when it came to your drug of choice so nobody will ever take you even remotely seriously now.
Or ever again.

Nope
In 2023, Myran co-authored two studies looking into the connection between cannabis and psychosis. They found a 220 per cent increase in emergency room visits in Ontario for cannabis-induced psychosis between 2014 and 2021 — with the number rising from about 400 people to about 1,400 over that seven-year period.
but you are the guy who thought restrictions were "sad" when it came to your drug of choice so nobody will ever take you even remotely seriously now.
Ya, this thread is filled with the best and brightest 2+2 has to offer.
It is sadly inadequate that a government that allows legal weed to be marketed to kids causing a massive increase in psychosis would waste their time and resources restricting a nootropic.

LMAO. The hypocrisy shows no end. You were the one that was "sad" that the government restricted the drug you like from being easily available in child-friendly flavours in convenience stores. You can't expect a single person to ever take you seriously again when you screech about how bad it is that weed is being marketed to kids. Especially when the Cannabis act clearly prohibits marketing to children, which I support.
Sad when it is your drug. Not sad when it isn't.
Hypocrisy at its highest form.
lololololol buddy stop trying to pretend like you are going to google your way out of your hypocrisy. Nobody has said there are zero harmful things from weed, nor that the way it is harmful is the same as for your drug of choice. I think you guys shouldn't do either drug, but like a good liberal I'll defend your right to do it.
And at least I don't go crying about Big Government restricting one drug while trying to get Big Government to ban another. Of course conservatives everywhere immediately want Big Government to enforce their own personal preferences, story as old as time.

Cool, but legal weed is still being marketed towards kids......
Just 1 link of someone commiting a crime while under the influence of nicotine, or some data that mental disorders are increasing because of 4mg berry flavored nicotine pouches, you gotta be able to find something.

Your big government banned one product and legalized the other.
LMAO.
Oh stop.
I'm sorry, my intercostals are starting to hurt.
You just have to stop.
Buddy, the government restricted the sales of one product just like it restricts the sale of the other. The rest of the world isn't being hypocrits no matter how much you pretend.
Only you.
The decades long drug user who wants Big Government to come in an ban the drugs he doesn't use.
Drink non-alcoholic, the market is booming. I'm not a psychologist but pretty sure the recommended treatment for introverts isn't getting drunk.
Recommended by whom? by the same experts that recommended double masking and stopping to live for years because a nasty cold was around? Why do you trust health experts in general over the proven track record of the countries with the best health in the world?

Man the experiment has to be judged upon freedom not upon "societal results" if you aren't a leftist. The role of the state isn't to "optimize society" in any way or form, is to play referee while we do the **** we want with our lives and only intervene when we directly damage other people (not STATISTICALLY: directly).
You are using the same identical framework leftists use to push all their horrific socialist nightmares: the idea the state has the right and the duty to violate your individual freedom if in doing so, the societal outcome it can achieve is "better" as defined by them.
I could care less about the societal outcome and you shouldn't either. If people fail to use their freedom responsible **** them, it's their problem, that's being rightwing. When they become a direct problem to others you deal with them swiftly and draconically and get rid of them for good, but until then, people should be allowed to do the **** they want with their lives.
That the left shares this idea (which is correct in all venues of life) for cannabis is a positive not a negative. They are still terrible because they don't share this idea in a lot of other topics. But can't criticize them one of the very few times they have the proper approach to governing, which is to maximize freedom disregarding the consequences, because freedom ITSELF is the ****ing goal above all, is the way you judge if an outcome is positive or not.
I need alcohol as long as Justin’s running this country
Merry Christmas everyone
Buddy, the government restricted the sales of one product just like it restricts the sale of the other. The rest of the world isn't being hypocrits no matter how much you pretend.
No, they completely banned thousands of nicotine pouch products, allowing 1 too be sold, while legalizing Weed and allowing candy themed edibles to be sold. You claim this is the obvious common sense approach. Since that is the case Im sure you can provide some data on a decrease in youth psych ward visits since the BAN of 6mg wintergreen zyns.
