Ok, if this is anything more than lip-service appeasement, get him the fuck out. We don’t need the Liberals to be socially conservative patsies.

I believe you’ve misinterpreted hitmyspot’s comment. If you think it’s worthwhile, perhaps you can describe exactly what the comparison is between, just so we’re operating on the same concepts so as to be on the same page.

I don’t think it’s worth arguing for arguing’s sake. So at the very least I hope to understand what distinctions you’ve made. If whatever it is is wholly subjective as you say then why refute the other person’s subjective view? What could make theirs more wrong or less valid than yours? 🤔

(I’m continuing to ask in the assumption that there is some shared basis in values or whatever that can make it a bit objective or intersubjective.)

I think we potentially can based on the proportion of people living in terminal pain and suffering – extra sanity damage the cause was easily preventable. If an overwhelming majority choose euthanasia or some sort of dignified pass, it’d be blatantly naive and foolish to continue to claim they’re incomparable. So, it can be a research question 😂.

Not to mention the disproportionate chance of catching an easily preventable disease and then being in extreme pain and misery for whatever remains of life. Normally I’d say that it’s a tragedy not to have the opportunity to live a long and full life and it should be avoided at all costs, but that was never realistically in the cards for them anyway with those kinda parents/cultural upbringing. Lottery odds aren’t worth it.

Any chance that most of our politicians are replaced by magic 8-balls of similar efficacy but 0 cost?

Ah yes, any friends of her enemy (the Alberta public) is her enemy too.

That’s the best thing about representative and not direct democracy: you can do the right thing, e.g. pass correct legislation or policies even if it’s not popular. Instead they do the opposite. Maybe some day the majority of Canadians will come to grips with how our democracy is mostly just a thinly veiled oligopoly. As a BCer it’s probably further away for us than the other provinces.

There’s only 408 of em? No? These are rookie numbers then.

Some cops don’t seem to have gotten the message yet that the system needs to be blunt and dehumanizing. It’ll gladly cannabalize its own to get that message across.

And also, ACAB.

Any chance that > $12.4B is directly taxed or siphoned from the big grocery chains?

No shade to Eby but it doesn’t take a lawyer to understand that water is wet.

Since he’s a lawyer though, he should know there’s more than enough to convict them of attempted treason, conspiracy, or any other inchoate crime thereof. Unfortunately it looks like neither provincial nor federal prosecutors will go after them for it.

TIL NORAD is actually a sales contract.

As a Canadian I’m still naively holding out for some kind of resolution that improves conditions for ordinary people on both sides of the border. Or at least stabilizes them.

One of the most sombering lessons is how innocence is the first casualty. In the worst case scenario, no one can keep their hands clean by this conflict’s end.

Get those numbers up!

I am once again ashamed at living in BC and being in proximity to Global News. What a terribly written article and piece of “journalism.” There’s not a single argument or connection on how or why the “research” was relevant to the decriminalization program OR the end of said program. Tons of claims everywhere but not a single bit of evidence or info for us to possibly connect them.

Organizations seem to always have a love affair with religion because it’s such an easy tool to control the masses with. Might hafta target oppressive control structures and hierarchies first, or simultaneously, for people to be free from the blight of organized religion.
