True especially since with just the oil money it will become the Dubai of the West (even including all the Jeet slaves that they also have in the UAE)

Especially when speaking French includes the West African Nigger version of French being just as valid as Old Stock Québécois

Rob Ford is proof that hard drugs can be performance-enhancing. There's a clip of Rob making threatening gestures towards either the press or the abstract concept of the opposition that I consider pure kino.
As far as the Fords go, Rob was the superior sibling. He was a municipal populist, and every city and town needs that. There's a reason the city stuck by him during the crack scandal, and it's not current day "elbows up" bullshit.

Speaking of Canada's beloved crackhead mayor, this might be a combination of a lolbert moment, simply being under 35 in Canada, and some degen power leveling, but I support decriminalization/legalization of some currently-illegal drugs but with more severe penalties for hard shit. Weed tends to make people lazy when they overdo it, but alcohol has similarly chronic effects, and I think that ship is sailed legally anyway. As far as the "psychedelics for mental health" political bugbear goes: no one's making irresponsible decisions on shrooms and it seems to have pretty significant long-term antidepressant effects without requiring a pill-popping SSRI lobotomization lifestyle; MDMA is one night of being a coomer in a bed (I might be wrong about how MDMA works; never tried it) vs three-to-five nights of hangover; almost impossible to have an addiction with that, plus medical benefits when it comes to PTSD.

I can't even sympathize with the "well if people are tripping on shrooms then more people will freak out in public" angle since that never happens as it is, and there's basically zero police enforcement of psychedelic trafficking, usage and possession. Compare that to the lax enforcement on tweakers going violently apeshit in public, it's clear one class of drugs is worse than the other. Playing (self-interested) devil's advocate; I smoked weed when it was illegal and I won't stop if it becomes illegal again. Point is, I can think of plenty of hard drug-motivated crime in my community and not one instance of someone causing problems on the "soft" (but illegal drugs).

As far as the "it's not a hard drug" decriminalization stance goes, I'm not going to pretend LSD has therapeutic uses (but I've also never done it, unlike weed and shrooms, so it's unbiased by experience), but it's as harmless as shrooms.

Then you have the laced meth and laced coke and opiates, and people selling that legitimately need to be treated as serial killers. You can get test kits for free from local Health Units (at least in Ontario) so if you're moving that shit you know you're doing it, it's totally intentional. Watched a homeless guy OD behind my house a couple nights back, thankfully (despite lack of contribution to society) survived, so the weirdly pro-social and simultaneously anti-social drug policy in Canada has been on my mind for a few days. I figure given the unique culture on the subject in this country, it'd be a decent break from the America-Canada trade disputes, (merited) jeet hate and doomposting to actually discuss something topical. Very drunk and spent way too long translating this post from shitfaced to coherent; will not respond to replies til tomorrow but may read and react. Very tired of the state of things.

This is a very backhanded, French way of wishing them luck. "I'll give you advice on what not to do: [brief explainer on 20th Century Quebec nationalism]"

Being originally from Montreal and having gone to northern Quebec a bunch for work, then seeing the rest of the country later, Quebec really is different, and the few provinces I have visited have been very unique. It's hard to pin down exactly what it is each region has but it is unique, useless, yet absolutely worth protecting.

"Therefore, it requires a culture of their own, and I am not certain that oil and gas qualify to define a culture, but it's theirs to decide if they want to vindicate the right to self-determination." is a fucking incredible own but also goes to show that Alberta has the same thing going on that quumbic does; no one can really get what sets it apart so much, or why they set themselves apart so much, and everyone is upset because everyone is confused and unable to reconcile. Money is just an excuse. There is something about the culture that is fundamentally incompatible with people from outside, and that's fine. That's good, actually.

Ford governs identically to the liberals. I don't care much for either brother in terms of personality and see much of their "time" in power as them just holding the reins of power and inheriting it, not really shaping it;

But if you look at the Ford government in Ontario- it's identical to the liberal one. On COVID, on troons, etc

The only minor difference is that he cut healthcare before COVID, but it's all neoliberal shit basically. Literal monoparty when it comes to the Ontario conservatives.
