    Toronto? Is in Ontario last time I checked LOL. Topic is about BC provincial changes in BC.

    Mentioned as they are considering similar policies and PP bellowed specifically against Ottawa approving it.

    We've been doing that for a year now and everyone in the field is screaming to stop

    Bullshit. Niehter the govt, the professionals involved or the RCMP are. They wanted tweaks, the usual loudmouths want drugs criminalized again. Because? Can they say even why?

    lock them up and give them a choice - stay in jail for a few years or take a drug rehab program and pass it

    Typical dinosaur response. You'd be unlucky as hell to get 'a few years' for dealing. And forced rehab, eh? You showed yourself as one of the very 1diots I keep pointing to, smashing your face into it didn't break down the wall in 100 years so your solution is that you're not smashing your face into it hard enough. Beat the crew harder until morale improves and all that.
    But of course you can't understand simple analogy.

    Why do you people not understand that the protests are against western nations aiding and abetting Israel's ongoing campaign of apartheid and ethnic cleansing? 

    Because they're busy portraying them as ProHamas rallies like the OP to fit their political agenda. Which is 100% against reasoning and sane thought.
    Even though I think protesting at a N American university against a war between people who aren't N American is futile, and the extremists are demanding disinvestment in companies 'that do business with Israel' is disingenuine. Divest in Lockheed because Israel buys F35s same as us? Invest in terrorists that rape, murder and take hostages instead?

    So, we are not "clueless 1diots". We were the ones that said, wait for it... it will only get worse.... and it did and we cans say we told you so.

    There is ZERO indication 'the problem' will get worse because of treating addiction as a health issue.
    There is one hundred years of evidence that punishing users instead of addressing the underlying causes did.
    So returning to a punishment model is the definition of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, which is one definition of insanity.

    It was a anecdote from her life in the country, it is what happens there.

    Jeez you all overreact to everything.

    You weren't there, everybody can talk a good game when they aren't the ones facing it.

    You really believe in stereotypes, don't you? Bubba,,,,

    Country folk shoot a dog because it's old and dying, if it's hopelessly injured or goes after livestock. Not for being a slow learner. Sadistic a$$holes do that.

    Animal cruelty -she confessed to a crime. Makes her adorable to Trumpoids.

  5. I'd suggest remedial reading classes Foxy. As per usual you've read and replied to hundreds of posts I've made over the years indicating I live in N central BC, yet claim I said I live in Vancouver so I'm the liar.
    Plus, pulling shit out of your ass once again your BS claim of a Loblaws and Sobey's in Burns Lake points out your usual no effort whatsoever to look up anything before you post. There's a Wholesale Club that is owned by Loblaws and a SaveOn. There is only 1 branded Sobeys in BC and that's in Invermere.

    And no one, anywhere, including me alluded to anyone being forced to shop at Loblaws. Pulled that our of your ass too. You also entirely missed the point that "BCs very own food people" are everywhere in Western Canada and now the Territories and were entirely unnoticed by Parliament. Like they don't exist, aren't important enough.

    I've met dyslexic, autistic kids with better reading comprehension.

    But sticking to the subject of the thread, I'm not going to boycott them if they have better prices than someone else. I seldom go to the big Stupidstore anyways. WalMart and Costco are far better. The nearby Co-Op grocery has better fruit, veggies and meat.

    In every building sector in Canada the most common complaint it here are no workers and tradesmen are in desperately short  supply.

    We could build more homes if we had more trades people.

    So we can build more million dollar homes... granted, workers are needed but that doesn't solve the underlying issue. They're buying $1M properties in Vancouver as tear downs. Release federal/provincial land for building, the developers are gonna sell for $1M a lot.

    That won't help any new home buyers, just feed the frenzy. But that's the only thing they can come up with, right? More of the same, and swallow the blame.

  7. Go back to ditches, gravel roads, telephone poles and septic tanks and a $50,000 provincial first time home buyer grant? F^ck zoning laws and allow manufactured homes on slabs or foundations anywhere?
    They could release federal/provincial land and ask builders to bid to build on it and sell it only through a govt agency. Void the GST on them. No land speculation, lowest building markups and no real estate agency fees.... You know the GST on a new $1M home is $70,000 and a home across the street sold for that a month ago.

  8. Well seeing as how Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba completely disappeared along with CN & CP rail and every diesel semi truck for a long while it was a convenient excuse to gouge shoppers for a while.
    Now if Australia and New Zealand ever get ships again, we might see something in stores besides the "rack" of lamb priced like it flown in by helicopters.

    But welcome to a World economy run by the rich where a couple Houthi rockets forces you to pay 30% more for Alberta and Alaska oil.

  9. Be from western Canada where SaveOn is the big grocer, but goes completely unnoticed and unaccountable to Ottawa.
    The one I posted the $33 a dozen gluten free hot dog buns? Where we drive 60 km to the Independent or 160 to a Superstore just to have a Loblaw choice. No. not gonna boycott, they're too far away. Have to stick with the $8.49 for 4 day old fritters or 6 donuts. And the flyers where they have only empty shelving where the featured goods are supposed to be and managers that call you stupid or ignorant if you expect otherwise.

  10. Oh FFS you guys are cueless 1diots. They just took ateps to correct the problem and you're still making up imaginary visions of what the problem even was.

    The druggies are returned to the bushes and back alleys where you won't see them and can go back to pretending the drug problem doesn't exist. Take it as a win... you didn't really give a shit anyway. Until it's a friend or relative that dies.
