Speaking of, weed is legal in 15 days! And because my province is a goddamn nanny state I'm going to have to buy it online if I don't want to hit up the local dealer!

I guess I'll check out their site since there are no stores.. but I really don't see the way I purchase changing at all tbh. There's no way the gov't will have near the quality as the dispensary I order from.

Someone should be in prison for that. Just bullshit and stupidity all the way down.

That seems to be the general consensus. There are also cities in Ontario passing council legislation that they think will somehow overrule the provincial mandate that the only places you can't smoke weed will be near schools, playgrounds and in vehicles.

I was at a wedding the other weekend and one of the items in in the gift bags for the bridal parties and groomsmen was a THC chocolate bar from a place in Montreal, I have a buddy that was legit surprised that you could buy this stuff this easily prior to legislation. The grey market has been around forever and it'll stay that way for a long time.

Tory wins Toronto mayor with 60% of the vote, up from 40% last time.

Also, noting that there are 25,308 piece of shit morons in this city who voted for Faith Goldy.

This whole fucking thing has been a disaster and a joke. Basically everyone in BC thinks we need to reform the system. But the ideas they came up with are awful. 2 of the 3 have never been tried anywhere in the world before.

On top of that there's no threshold for how many people need to participate, or agree for it to pass. 3.7% of the ballots have been returned. in 2005 61.5% of the voters took part, they tried again in 2009 and 55% took part (and that time people voted to keep the old system). It looks like people will vote to keep the old system this time too due to how awful the alternative choices are.

Unless something impossible happens Toronto will break a 25 year old record for homicides this year. I am aware that the stats factor in the van attack and shooting on The Danforth but this is 100% going to result in carding being brought back under the guise of something shiny and nice. Sorry black people, 2019 is gonna suck for you.

Does this article decrying the Trudeau government ring true with any of our Canadian posters here?

If Trudeau loses the election this is going to play a BIG reason why.

You mean when. Then dumb fuck has basically guaranteed a Scheer win.

For a guy who’s political super power is apparently likability, he’s taking a lot of unnecessary losses.

This fucking SNP thing he has chosen the wrong choice every time.

I'm not sure about guaranteed. Scheer shared a stage with a white supremacist at a rally, people aren't going to forget that one.

Damn nobody even wants to consider the jagmeet:

a modest uptick in the polls means people gotta GIVE JAGMEET A CHANCE

I think NDP lost their best hope when Jack Layton died. Mulclair was a terrible, terrible replacement. I don’t think Singh’s the guy to push the NDP back to where they were under Layton. He’s not terrible. I just don’t think he’s particularly impressive.

NDP lost it with Layton for sure. Layton would have been Prime Minister on the next go and I'm really sad it didn't happen. Trudeau has completely fucked things up with this idiotic scandal and should have stepped down. The only saving grace is that Scheer is one of the worst candidates the Conservatives could run against him and the possibility of some vote splitting because of Bernier.

I think the Liberals will hold on to a minority government as things stand now but I also don't count on them not fucking up more...or Scheer/Bernier going to a Klan rally.


I WANT MAH COUNTRY BACK.

Justin should thank the Lord every single night that Scheer is an unimpressive, bland, unremarkable waste of space - and even if he wasn't, this whole Bernier nonsense will probably split the "conservative" vote anyhow. And poor Jagmeet has proven on a couple of occasions that (so far at least) he's in way over his head as the leader of a federal party. This current Liberal shit-show should be a career-ender for just about anybody, but Justin can probably count on a healthy mix of public apathy and opposing incompetence to keep him in power.

The last time people voted PC to spite the Liberals Ontario got stuck with Doug Ford and hopefully he's done a good (bad?) enough job of demonstrating to them what a nation run by those chuds would look like.

I live in a solidly UCP town. It’s hard to have hope that people see the fucks up and will change when they haven’t here.

I can’t hate to get the fuck out of this shit hole.

The Ontario PCs are already third in the polls and about 15% behind the leading liberals lmao

If one good thing comes out of electing Doug, it's that he fucks the federal cons.

Oh look, Alberta's trying to pass an anti abortion bill again. Who's trying to do that? Oh what a surprise, conservatives.

Every person I talk to over 50 watches Big Bang and most watch Young Sheldon. I don't know why. This is a pretty "great" example of how dominant american culture is here though tbh.

http://mediaincanada.com/2019/01/04/which-canadian-shows-pulled-in-the-biggest-ratings-in-2018/

all the top canadian shows are just knockoffs too. Where's the degrassi's and red green's?! Where have you gone never-ending series of Stargate shows? Where is the sketch comedy troupe we can constantly harp on watching before they were famous?

Made all the worse is that your country produces Letterkenny and it may be the funniest show I've ever seen.
